One Facebooker had an apt question:
"What’s the difference between skating over the beautifully decorated rink with fish in the ice that are already dead and will only be thrown away, and visiting a museum to look at already dead dinosaurs, also beautifully decorated? I’m looking forward to the next plan."Isn't it easy? Use fake fish! You can make them much more colorful and interesting. It would be sort of like those old fly-in-ice-cube pranks...

Why would the place give away all that free publicity?
The better response would be: "These fish were killed humanely and are beautiful to skate over. Come see for your self. Admittance is almost free!"
Why stop at fish? You could easily put a fake person under the ice, staring up at you as though they got trapped underneath. Great way to teach kids about frozen lake swimming safety, while they skate!
An entire zoo could be placed in the ice. And just think of the money you could make by putting dead naked bodies in the ice.
Why not just use fish sticks? They come pre-frozen!
Based on the photo it appears they froze a skate or two. Get it? Skate?
Don't throw them out. Have a benefit sushi feed to raise money for the rink.
The funniest thing about fly-in-ice-cube and fake dog vomit are the people who think fake vomit is funny. This is not to say all those novelty items you saw advertised in Spider-Man and Detective Comics weren't funny. The whoopie cushion is brilliant. Aristophanes would have owned one.
Whoopie Goldberg has never realized she named herself after a fart, a Jewish fart at that.

That joke floundered.

If that joke inspired a single chuckle, it was a fluke.
Fish are cold blooded food anyway. Now if they start to freeze dolphins and whales let me know. That would be like abortion of mammal babies.
'Bad taste' is culturally defined.

You shouldn't carp on about bad jokes.
Just don't start with the pollack jokes.
I think koi ponds are pretty nifty and the skating rink repugnant.

Your humor lacks subtlety. Not a whole lot, just a dab.
Frozen kittens and puppies. Now that would be tasteless.
"Your humor lacks subtlety. Not a whole lot, just a dab."
Horse feathers! My humor is breaming with subtlety.
Guest: Egad, there's a fly in my drink!
Homer: Yes I put it there.
Guest: You did?
Homer: I put in there as a gag.
Guest: Good show!
Companion: Pure Hilarity!
Guest: Pure Homer! I nominate Homer the most whimsical gent of the season!

You missed the pun.
Restaurant patron: Waiter! There's a fly in my soup. What's it doing in there?!
Waiter: The Australian Crawl.
"You missed the pun."
No, I caught the dab.
Are you people punning just for the halibut?
That's the sole reason.
Bob, I don't think you know your plaice!
"Bob, I don't think you know your plaice!"
There's no trout about it.
"Bob, I don't think you know your plaice!"
It's true, but it's still a crappie thing to say.
The second one there didn't flow so badly, but the first one limpet.

All this criticism has me feeling a little disgrunioned.
Tampa use to have a tarpon tournament. The scale was on Bayshore
just before the bridge over the Hillsborough River into downtown.
During the season there'd be these big-ass fish hanging there.
It was pretty cool. Well ... now it's an artwork with these big plastic
sorta arty painted fish things hanging there. Looked kinda stupid at first.
While back some younger type musta thought one of the fish would look
cool hanging on his wall or something and grabbed it. Turns out
we Tampans love our fake fish. Kid would have been better off kidnapping the city council. After lots of publicity fish found and returned to its hanging.

When I first saw this, I thought it said tampon tournament. ;-D
Bad Lieutenant decided to clam up on me.
I sometimes ice fish on Lake Champlain. Sometimes they have alwife die-offs and they freeze into the ice. When the conditions are perfect you will see one every few feet, frozen, silvery, floating sideways in the ice, peeping through where there are spots clear of snow. They were quite pretty.
No, Bob, to bunker up.
