Arrest Warrant Issued for Hayden Panntyieres

By Tim Nudd

An arrest warrant has been issued in Japan for Hayden Panettiere, the Heroes star says in an interview.

'I learned today that I have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan because of what I did for Save the Whales,' Panettiere, 18, is quoted as telling E! News.

Late last month, the actress-activist participated with others in a confrontation with fisherman during a dolphin hunt.

Asked what the repercussions might be from the warrant, Panettiere said, 'Potentially jail, but I doubt it. ... I guess they could come here and get us, but probably not.'

On Oct. 30, Panettiere joined other activists in paddling on surfboards into a cove near Taiji in southwestern Japan, in an attempt to interfere with a dolphin hunt there.

About midway through there's a clip with Hayden speaking, and there's another girl there who looks a lot like Alexis Bledel, if you can imagine her putting on a wetsuit and surfing to save dolphins. I guess it's not Bledel, though, because they would have mentioned it.

Yet her being a talentless bimbo goes on as the crime of the Century.

If it's not AB it bears a striking resemblence to her.

If it's not her, this woman could be a body double for AB. The resemblence is uncanny.

I agree 100%.

I think you'll want to think very carefully about cultural relativism and the belief that all 'customs' of other cultures must be accepted without question.
