It just makes the sharks look bad.


Well, I would agree that the VAST majority of what the media highlights is not news.

But Bat Boys, Celeb Scandals, and Shark Attacks DO sell papers.

p.s. I love you, too. :)

Me and sharks have a deal. I wont go in thier waters and they wont attack me on the streets. Its worked out well so far. :)

JDog.

I guess when it didnt happen to your family, your backyard, your community, one can be have your point of view.

I suppose the only reason I am posting here because this story is somewhat personal to me since I can look at my window and see where it happened. I surf where it happened. You didnt see the family and friends. You didnt hear the stories they told.

whatever.. The weather is awsome today and I'm getting off the internet..

For a beach community, it's jarring.

As far as the rest of the country? Well, "SHARK ATTACK!" certainly makes a good headline.

"SHARK ATTACKS BRITTNEY!" would be even better.

Also, remember the summer of 2001 was the summer of the shark. Obviously they were covering the wrong things.

Jason, not to say that I lived right by the beach in Huntington Beach, just a hundred plus miles north of you. And yes I surfed out there too, and yes there was a shark attack in 2004 (of course it wasn't fatal).

But me going out in the water, I know of the possibility of this happening and don't feel that it should be "breaking news". If you enter the ocean you're entering a whole new domain and entering the territory of sharks.

I just got out of the water. It's all good, the shark is gone.

I saw it on the bbc news and the expect talking about the shark just reminded me of the the shark expert from Jaws.

I never understood why people are so comfortbale swimming in the ocean. You are out of your element and there are killer fish all around you.

fuck that
