August 5, 201313 yr Author You guys do know that this was a "mockumentary" don't you? This "footage" was about as real as the Mermaids documentary that Animal Planet had. I'm really disappointed in The Discovery Channel for putting something like this out. They might as well have went in search of Sharknado. Yeah, after the fact. I didn't know it at the time when I was watching. I tuned in about halfway through and it wasn't until it was over when I found out the truth about the show.
August 5, 201313 yr All these years they run out of interesting material...gotta start making stuff up. They should just run continually video of the sharks on the South African coast the eat the seals.
August 5, 201313 yr When I was a kid my dad used to make us little sieves with 1X2s and porch screen. Once a summer we would drive to Calvert Cliffs, down on the western side of the Chesapeake Bay. We could wade in the water, scoop up the sand on the bottom and find maybe a dozen little shark's teeth or more in an hour's time.

I guess next you're going to tell everyone that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny aren't real. :lol:

August 5, 201313 yr I don't get it. I really don't. Why does everybody like sharks so much? Is this ironic or some other postmodern thing I don't understand?
August 5, 201313 yr Yeah, after the fact. I didn't know it at the time when I was watching. I tuned in about halfway through and it wasn't until it was over when I found out the truth about the show. Me either...watched last half hour or so live the rest was on DVR...didn't know until I saw it on the internet this AM. VERY DISAPPOINTED in Discovery for doing something like that...especially to start off Shark Week.
August 5, 201313 yr I don't get it. I really don't. Why does everybody like sharks so much? Is this ironic or some other postmodern thing I don't understand? Air Jaws got me hooked a few years ago...I like most of the shows on SW but I love the Air Jaws Series where 1000lb Great Whites are coming out of the water like a Largemouth chasing a buzz bait...man that's something to see.
August 5, 201313 yr The year that Jaws was released, I was a beach lifeguard on the Chesapeake Bay. Folks that wouldn't have second thoughts about going any distance out in the water were acting like a bunch of weenies. One day we saw something about a half mile out in the bay that no one could explain. Turns out it was a sea turtle inching its way along. It wouldn't have been news had it not been for the Jaws craze.
