Sharks are a phenomenal animal (fish?). Glorious, and ...misunderstood? It's true.
Name some horrific, freaky way to die. Car accident. Plane crash. Lightning. You have more chances of dying those ways than of dying of a shark attack. Sharks are like that kid in class who grew quicker than everyone else at a very young age, and as a result are a big huge lug of a child.
So normally, this big burly kid gets snubbed and labelled 'bully' or 'brute'; but really, his heart is made of gold and he just wants to play with you guys. It's not his fault he doesn't realize his own strength, and almost breaks your arm when giving you a high five. He simply doesn't understand that since he's got a body that is like a tank, his high fives are more aggressive than the ones he sees everyone else participating in.
To sum up, sharks are like the awkward big kid who grew too early and doesn't know his own strength. Appreciate them for their sheer strength, we all know you're envious. Don't kill them because they pose an unrealistic threat of sudden death; they just don't know the power of their own high fives, that's all.
Now get off your computer and go enjoy the magnificent Sharkweek.
