    Yeah illegal shark fin trading is badass dude.
    We should douse this guy with 3 young children in petrol and murder him because he's trying to stop a disgusting practice.

    The Hell's Kitchen star was shooting scenes for Big Fish Fight when he confronted gangsters in Costa Rica who had slaughtered thousands of sharks to sell their sought-after fins.

    But Ramsay was left terrified when the gang kept their guns trained on him and his TV crew before throwing fuel over him. He was later advised by local police to flee the country for his own safety.

    The chef tells the Daily Mail, "It's a multibillion-dollar industry, completely unregulated. We traced some of the biggest culprits to Costa Rica. These gangs operate from places like forts, with barbed-wire and gun towers.

    "At one, I managed to shake off the people keeping us away, ran up some stairs to a rooftop and looked down to see thousands of fins, drying on rooftops for as far as the eye could see. When I got back downstairs, they tipped a barrel of petrol over me.
    "Back at the wharf, there were people pointing rifles at us to stop us filming. A van pulled up and these seedy characters made us stand against a wall. The police came and advised us to leave the country. They said, 'If you set one foot in there, they'll shoot you.'"

    You see kids, the easiest way to recieve your thanksfix for the day is to quote the link for the mobiles'...

    He annoys me on TV but why would I think it's great that some b*stards doused him in petrol because he was trying to do something decent?

    I'm confused. Did I miss a New Year's Resolution that said we were all going to be absolute c*nts on boards from now on or something?

    Maybe it's Karma for him doing the dirt on his wife or from sacking his father-in-law despite the fact he had financially backed him from the start!

    Costa Rica would be the last central American country i'd have expected that to happen in. The other countries around them slag them for being pussies with their pura vida crap.

    I think that New Year's Resolution only pertains to AH and was made some years ago.
    I seriously doubt the OP was endorsing illegal shark-fin trading; just alerting us to a story about an abrasive twat finding himself in a hairy situation.
    Judging by the first page of comments here, it would seem AH's New Year's Resolution this year was to try out a humour bypass.

    Ramsey is a bit of a clown but I wouldn't wish him set on fire. Raped? Yes. Set on fire, no. That's too far.

    You want him raped...hmmm

    You'd have to hate the person that would commit the act more than Ramsay himself surely.

    I now understand the mentality of Irish people who supported the Nazis (hmmm, did someone mention Godwin's Law?) during WWII.

    We despise the Brits or Ramsay, so we'll take the side of any scum that come along to give them grief. The fact that what they're doing is right can be coonveniently forgotten.

    Excuse me, while I go off and help some rapists beat up Simon Cowell, so they can continue their activities unhindered.

    Finning is a horrible trade. I can't support the Costa Ricans on this.

    They catch the shark, cut off its dorsal fin, WHILE ITS STILL ALIVE and then drop the shark back in the ocean. Without its fin, it can't swim and it just sinks to the bottom of the ocean where it dies a slow death!

    Its inhumane and due to modern fishing methods, they're quickly wiping out all the sharks from the sea just for some stupid soup that some stupid rich people like to pay for!!


    Even though Ramsay can come off as a wanker at times, he was still trying to do something good here.

    I don't spend my time on tv shouting at little boys and girls giving it "The Big I Am", do I?

    Plus I wouldn't have the inflated opinion of myself to go near these people in the first place!

    I know my place, some don't!

    But we're not talking about the best; we're talking about the very worst (small hyperbole alert) that Costa Rica has to offer.

    Ramsay was sitting beside me in the restaurant the other day. He was having shark fin soup. For the main course he had a shark fin sandwich. seasoned with fresh kitten paws and a dollap of dolphin eye sauce. He seemed to be pissed and was talking very loudly - someone asked him to leave, there was no petrol produced though.
