If more than one beach-goer gets attacked by a shark in a six-week period, "THE YEAR OF KILLER SHARKS! DON'T BE A VICTIM! THE YEAR OF KILLER SHARKS! HERE'S HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM KILLER SHARKS! BECAUSE THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE KILLER SHARKS!" I live on the southern tip of Lake Michigan and watch Chicago news stations. I don't frickin' go anywhere, how does this affect us? Seriously, why do news mediums insist on making sharks nature's villains? I'm pretty sure more people are killed by their pet each year than have been killed by sharks in the last decade, and even then those who are killed by sharks either stupidly went and taunted them or are surfers the sharks thought were a seal (seriously, I remember seeing a documentary comparing a swimming seal and a surfer lying on his board seen from below and the resemblance is uncanny to a human, now imagine what an animal with no concept of "surfboard" must think).

Which reminds me, have we ever been given the "all-clear" when it came to these so-called "KILLER BEES FROM MEXICO!" about 20-25 years ago? I still don't think we've been given the all-clear from the British after 1812 That's cuz we're still waiting, watching... we'll strike again!

Yeah, I would never blame a shark for being a shark when you go to their domain in the first place. I seriously doubt they would attack a human for no reason. But, if I see a shark walking down the street, I'm beating his ass

Oooh I just remembered a good one from a French magazine a few years back, which always confused me as it's not one that usually goes for overly sensational headlines... but my God did they go all out on that one:
INTERNET: STALIN WOULD HAVE LOVED IT
The entire thing seemed to centre around the fact that you give personal info when subscribing for stuff on the Internet, because you know how you never do so outside it. Come to think of it, you give a lot less info when subscribing to websites than you do when subscribing to magazines or other offline stuff.
