I wish the shark had eaten him. What a dickhead, messing with creatures like that.

Captain Disillusion proves this video a hoax, as follows.

Honestly Maryann, I’m surprised you’re not already a fan.

Captain Disillusion is kinda cool, but I wish he’d get to the point… it’s like each video is longer than the last as he tries to turn his little internet niche into some kinda comedy show.

But yeah, you can tell that video is fake just by watching the other surfers calmly wave as the shark swims right past them. Unlikely!

Still, a funny video, even if it is a crummy commercial. :)

A crummy commercial?!

I returned to my room. Wiser.

I showed it to my brother, a photograph journalist, and he thought it was fake, too. A shark with a fin that size would also have a visible tail fin, and there were multiple camera views that made editing very easy.
