It's been on the news lately about a series of giant shark sightings off of some of our area beaches. Videos and pictures surfaced of a huge dorsal fin sticking out of the water very close to shore. It turns out the whole thing was a hoax. Some asshole with scuba gear and a plastic fin attached to his back has been f-ing with people. :lol:

https://www.wfla.com/news/multiple-shar ... y-beaches/
Florida Fish and Wildlife officials say videos of several reported “shark sightings” on Pinellas County beaches are a hoax.

Several viewers sent videos to 8 On Your Side over the past few months showing what appeared to be a large shark fin popping out of the water near beaches in the Tampa Bay area. 8 On Your Side reached out to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to show them the videos. FWC says they reviewed the videos and determined it’s a hoax.

“That is a huge dorsal fin and in such shallow water, you would expect to be able to see a portion of the shark’s back and/or the second dorsal or tip of the caudal fin,” FWC Marine Fisheries Biologist Brent Winner explained. “None of those are visible.”

He also pointed out another part of the video that seemed suspicious.

“Even more suspect are the ‘bubbles’ that come up a few feet behind the fin,” Winner added. “These look like an exhale from a SCUBA diver in shallow water. Not a swirl or anything that was caused by a shark’s movement.”

That's good work. We need more people like that to keep the beaches less crowded.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/267047/ame ... gn=sharing

Gallup asked a bunch of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents if they trusted Mass Media.

One group 69% had trust in it ( :dunce: ), the second 36%, the third 15%.

I'll give you one guess which one is which.
