Shark experts piss me off.

So, as I'm sure you're all well aware, it is the second best time of the year. It's shark week on the Discovery Channel. (The best time of the year being barbarians week on the History Channel.)

So, of course, I'm watching it loyally. But I'm so sick of all of the scientists and shark experts trying to "dispel myths" about sharks. Okay, okay, I get it already. They aren't evil. But every time there is a story about a shark attack there are three experts on saying how the shark wasn't really hungry, it was just curious. Or it just mistook the human for a seal because the water was murky.

Oh yeah, that makes sharks so much less frightening.

"Ok, don't worry! We've got you back on the boat, you've lost most of your blood and your right leg looks like dog food but that's ok. The shark just thought you were a seal and spat you out when you tasted funny! Isn't that cool!"

They're not explaining that sort of thing to the normal human beings like, oh let's say, us. The experts are saying it every five minutes to remind the ADD, short attention span beings. We just have to tolerate it long enough to get to the cool re-enactments where they show an isolated great white followed by a thrashing human.

Sometimes they show real blood, though.

ADD, short attention span humans don't watch shark week! :(

And those reenactments are my bread and butter.

They told some story where a kid got his leg bitten off by a great white, and the leg washed ashore three days later. All the scientists used it as an example of how sharks don't like to eat humans, and how that was a good thing. I don't know, honestly, if I a shark was going to bite off my leg, at least eat the damn thing

True, seems like such a waste. If you're going to eat me you had better enjoy it!

Oh shit, I'm going to get a million PMs now. >_<

And most of the scientists saying all that never got into the water with the sharks to ask them if that was a true assumption or not either.

I wish you were a guy, so I could make a joke about not spitting.

Couldn't you have been born with genitalia that were more conducive to shark attack innuendo?

Sorry, I can only work with what my momma gave me.

Perhaps I should construct a highly elaborate alt, come back into the thread, make the same comment, and then you can make your comment.

That's a lot of work, but I think the joke is worth it.

Let's get moving.
 
Holy crap, do you know how hard it is to make an alt?

Sucks when I try to use my sock puppet email address, only to lose the activation email and have my wonderful new alt null and void.

I tried man, I tried.

yup...sharks are eating machines...if they are hungry, they'll bite ya...
 
kinda sad when they 'mistakenly' bite someone's head off
 
So, if I eat a bowl of steaming hot delicious shark fin soup that comes from a shark that ate someone, does that make me a secondary cannibal?

Hmm...

ooops......
yep, some diver got his head bit clean off.

Shark: well damn I thought it was a fat little seal, honestly
 
I don't like Shark week. It seemed like a cool idea until I was forced to watch shark attack survivor stories, which made me feel nauseous.

The discovery channel sucks.

strangely enough, I did too.

Really, divers are just begging to be gnawed upon diving in murky waters.
