Blackfish the documentary TV Movie about SeaWorld whales, forces Barenaked Ladies to cancel show. Barenaked Ladies made a huge statement against SeaWorld, Orlando by pulling out of a scheduled concert to be played at Bands, Brews and BBQ, an annual SeaWorld event.
The movie depicts SeaWorld in a horrible light and is the cause behind the ruling from a Florida court keeping trainers out of the water with the killer whales. The Shows without the interaction in the water have still been popular and it seems like the audience is thrilled with the performance. The parts that are missing are obvious to long time SeaWorld park goers, like the trainer that surfs on the back of the whale and the part where a trainer is throw into the air 20 or 30 feet.
