Sharks only bite. At least according to the Australian authorities.
Really.
At least in two Australian states. Anywhere else they'll still attack the berkeley out of you.
I feel so much safer now.
It's only an attack if they take your wallet or purse. Swimmers rarely carry those.
Is it OK to state that PC culture is eating our brains? It is. I'll hang up and listen.
I'm pretty sure the Aussie surfer isn't going to care about semantics when a great white does his thing.
This is what you guys get worked up about? What a waste...

Those sharks are exercising their rights to bear teeth against humans invading their home.
"[It] helps dispel inherent assumptions that sharks are ravenous, mindless man-eating monsters," Leonardo Guida, a shark researcher at the Australian Marine Conservation Society, told the Sydney Morning Herald recently.
This would certainly fit that stereotype. OK, it might have been a dim-witted attempt at defense, but why didn't it let go when it realized it had bitten off more than it could chew? Little critter must have been watching Jaws too often.

Not worked up. I think it is funny.
Yeah, NY is thinking of a similar campaign:
"You may get approached by someone who will request a voluntary loan of your personal items"
Marketing is fun....
