Imagine the horror, if it were also shaped like a shark? (http://gizmodo.com/5831466/a-remote+controlled-big-ass-flying-shark-balloon-is-the-only-gift-you-should-give)

Oooh, geez, the Dr. Who Christmas episode from last year comes to life!

I have never wanted anything so badly in my life. I'm going to start leaving the order page up on my wife's computer around Christmas.

See? That's why I hang out here! +1 for you. :D

Your thread title is almost exactly my first thought when I saw the segment with the cat on icanhascheezburger (http://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/08/16/funny-pictures-cat-scared-of-shark-balloon/). Mine was "The Horror of Blimps: We're gonna need a bigger airboat."

I want one. I also want Improv Everywhere to stage an event with a whole school of the things somewhere.

or a ray? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxPzodKQays&feature=related)

Maybe a penguin? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPGgl5VH5go)

Damn it -- their online shop is down due to high demand and the one toy store they recommended is out of the shark blimps. They still have the clown fish blimps, but now my only goal in life is to get a shark blimp for my nephew. Grrrrr ...

I want the shark blimp so bad!!!

[Encinitas]

Just ordered the clown fish from M&M Toys! Weee!

[mnemosyne]

Ok, it's been 9 hours. I still want one so bad.

[Mosier]

I ordered the clown fish. All I need to finish my plans of conquest are 9 friends and 9 sharks to chase the clown fish around the DMV.

The shark helium balloons need very-low-power frigging laser beams.

But you all knew that.

I love that every single comment on that page refers back to SDMB. :)

Piiiiiiiiiiimp. One of these plus me rigging an MP3 of the Jaws theme over the PA system ought to make for an entertaining day at the office. As soon as they have stock again, anyway...
