I Can’t Even Be Mad At The People Who Fell For The Discovery Channel’s Lie. They Made It Look True.

Shark Week is absurdly popular. Maybe it’s not absurd since sharks are pretty much awesome. It’s not surprising that people are hungry for information about these tantalizingly terrifying beasts. So shouldn’t Discovery Channel be … you know … informing people?

The natural world is interesting enough for TV. Real sharks are much more exciting than fake ones. An entire show could be devoted to each of the (100% factual) shark topics Emily Graslie covers below.


Personally, I’d love a show called “Things That Are More Likely to Kill You Than Sharks.”
