Fear mongering? Seriously? This article does nothing but inform you that there was an attack on a seal, not a human. It states nothing about sharks attacking humans. I think if anything this article depicts sharks exactly as they are, predators of large marine mammals. I hate to say it but when we are in the water we become a large marine mammal, similar to that of a seal. In no way does this article make me think twice about shreding the gnar bro.

Wish I was there!

7x7, Home of Fear Mongering of Sharks.

This is exactly the kind of fear-mongering propaganda that contributes to this unjustified, and frankly inaccurate depiction of sharks. Sharks are not interested in humans. Less than five people a year are killed by sharks -- that's less than the body count of vending machines (http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2005/06/29/are-vending-machines-deadlier...).

Everyone should see Sharkwater: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sharkwater/

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
