Apparently the Washington Post said last year's Shark Week had too many white male shark experts.  I wonder if woke Discovery Channel will over compensate this year?

Woke Washington Post claims annual Discovery Channel predator-fest features too many white male experts onscreen
The Post's article cites researchers who accused the Discovery Channel of featuring too many white men as shark experts
Specifically, it claims there were more white experts and men named Mike than women featured in the Discovery special over the years
It also makes the case that the annual Shark Week emphasizes 'negative messages about sharks

On the local news a few minutes ago they were talking about how Shark Week was created to counter the negative image that sharks have developed.

Which I guess explains the Sharknado films.

It's sad when educational shows surrender to entertainment / sensationalism.

These girls swimming with large sharks "thinking they are controlling the sharks direction" is a recipe for a Steve Erwin ending.

Idiots.  It's about experts on the subject of male great white sharks.  

Who just happen to be white.

I was told it starts in about 24 hrs.  And if I really needed anything at the store, it had to be a quick stop at the Grab n’ Go instead of a leisurely stroll through the aisles at the main grocery store.

Some people just have to find something to complain about so they can get attention.

I thought it had been going for awhile already. There have been lots of shark shows in the last month or so, educational and shark attack shows. One show had a 2 headed shark, and it was followed by a show with a five headed shark, LOL. The fifth head was on the tail of the shark...creative actually.  On the other hand I just bought a pair of shark skin boots, I will wear them while watching the shows for the next week in honor of them.

Well half of you dummies think Sharknado isn't a documentary.  Those of us in the know......

Been watching the shark stuff on NatGeo and laugh when all these experts claim to have determined why a particular shark attacked a particular person at a particular time and day.

I used to love watching that stuff. I haven't seen it in years now. It is kinda unnerving that this is shark week though, I'll be 100+ miles out in the gulf in a couple of days.

You ever seen a Less White Shark?

We have other names for them, like sushi, fin soup, and steak

I have seen two shows the last two nights.   Both seem overly scripted.

In one two guys were wearing full face  masks while diving and trying to "research" something.  One keeps saying "Whoa" repeatedly and acting like they are in extreme danger.

Yet there seems to be no concern for the camera guy or two who record their exploits and the possible three or so safety divers for those camera guys.
