Sub Ed Never Seen ‘Shark Week’

It really is now a matter of public record that Daily Mail reporters and picture editors are stunningly ignorant about the natural world.

Like the time they labelled a Whale Shark a ‘mammal’

So it’s not even worth a Face/Palm  when you come across something like this in a story about an attack by a pod of Killer Whales on a school of Sharks. You’d finish up black & blue.

Yeah don’t think that was an informed decision on the sharks part. What’s it going to do now? Wait till they’ve gone away? Walk into town and catch a bus to the next bay over?

Dickheads

shit

[Not sure where the enormous beats came from, maybe the whales were laying down some wicked drum & bass as a soundtrack]

"...to escape the whales, which were unable to move onto the sand."


Oh, really?

Morning Julia.

Of course there's those, but I didn't want to cloud the issue away from the singular stupidity of the initial premise.

One of the captions also says the sharks were 'out-gunned' by the Killer Whales.

"Fuck me" I thought "If Killer Whales have started arming themselves, then we really are in trouble, they are badass enough as it is

I think the killer beats were a simple mis-spelling.

Think of the Norfolk version of this stunning documentary.

A shark is a mammal and a whale is a fish, stands to reason, Big Ron down the pub' told me. And dogs are closely related to fleas, obviously, or dog owners wouldn't name their pets after them.

It's probably going to put on dark glasses and then try to imitate whale songs in order to get away.

Mark, dogs MUST be related to fleas. I mean, I've had fleas jump onto me and I've also had Buster the golden retriever who lives next door jump onto me, too.

QED.

I worry about those cows, though. I, too, fall over if pushed hard enough.

Should I worry about becoming rabid and attacking someone?

Hmmm, reading this story, I wondered if there were any killer whales in the vicinity at the time?

Round up the usual black and white suspects!
