Shark Week: It's a bad week to be a seal.

The new promo for this year’s Shark Week on the Discovery Channel has gone viral. It’s definitely an attention grabber.

Spoilered for the squeamish. Don’t click unless you have a sick sense of humor like I do. (It is SFW.)

It’s a fake newscast of a seal which had been injured, rehabilitated, and is being returned to the sea. As it is being lowered into the water, a huge shark lunges up and takes the seal in one bite.

Awesome spot. Shark Week starts August 4th.

I laughed.

There will be much rejoicing in the chateau: Madame Pepperwinkle lives for Shark Week.

I saw this yesterday morning. Note how some guy comes blocks the view of the shark and the seal just ast the leap is made. I thought it was hilarious(since it WAS a fake video!)

Considering the seal’s name was Snuffy, I figured something [del]bad[/del] hilariously wrong was going to happen.

What’s also needed is a Shark Week special episode of* Hillbilly Handfishin’*.

We did too.
