        The problem is that it was promoted as racing a real shark so, yes, people are mad at being duped. Discovery is the one at fault.

        We get it Michael. And we love the fact you suck down bong hits. You'll ALSO enjoy the fact that cannabis is safer -than sharks! #LegalizeItpic.twitter.com/oCDofxZtYW

        Anybody pissed is probably still afraid to swim because of the megalodon special a few years ago or mermaids.

        We need to remind him of the Fonzie and where the phrase jumping the shark comes from.
