CD: Shark Week is Dumb

My wife loves Shark Week. So do my kids. Heck, everyone likes Shark Week.

I don’t.

Sharks are cool, don’t get me wrong. But the entire week is basically:

Inexperienced diver is going down. There are tons of sharks and stuff. Here’s B-roll of a shark looking super dangerous, probably from somewhere else years ago. Here’s some scary music. Here’s some quick trigger camera work. 

Here’s a commercial at a dramatic point. 

Here’s nothing actually happening. 

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to see anything bad happen. But I can’t deny its the same part of my brain that wants to see crashes in NASCAR and the bulls throw off the riders….

Also there’s this I caught last night-

UFC Champ Travis Browne?

Either I missed something or the Shark Week guys got it wrong.

Anyway, I’d rather have San Jose Shark week.
