Great Whites come to UK shores

[Johanthemonster666]

Oh, the Telegraph has a piece about something foreign running amok in the UK? That's unusual.

Anyway. I'm always very cautious of so-called "experts". Is he a marine biologist, a keen fisher, or a bloke down the pub?

So stupid, it's just classic UK journalist sensationalism.

I do hope this isn't going to become another UK stereotype, alongside bad teeth, and living off crumpets.

The two you mentioned don't even come to mind, though the old bad teeth stereotype is just something we're reminded of when we realize there are few, to no negative UK stereotypes these days.

I obviously live across the pond on the US East Coast,and despite all the uneducated,mud throwing,sensationlist stuff that gets tossed around in our media none of it compares to the stuff I read in some UK papers, articles and columbs lol

Perhaps I'm just making an unfair generalization?

Na, that's pretty normal. For example: It rarely snows here, and when it does it snows for a week or so straight. Most of the headlines in The SUN newspaper at the time are pretty much: BRITAIN AT A STAND STILL!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! AHHHHHHHHHH.

First I thought this was the band Great White, then I realized it was about sharks and things got awesomer. Great whites are basically the Mike Tysons of the oceans, just get out of their way and they won't bite anything off/push you down the stairs.

I swear, I thought the exactly same thing.

Also, sharks are interesting, when viewed from the safety of someplace where I can't have limbs removed, however accidentally.

"Respect"? They're sharks! You were lucky! I say get some oxygen tanks and guns and hand them out to the local populace. Market it as, "The Anti-Great White Kit!"

Replace the guns with harpoon guns, and you're on!

You can see on this guys avatar that sharks are dangerous. =P

Good answer

Despite what most people think. Sharks are generally non agressive towards humans, it's the fear in the person from all the panic that often provokes them into attacking. Though it would seem hard to NOT shit yourself in that situation, chances are you would come out unscaved if you can maintain an aggressive presence.

Failing that.
Punch the fucker in the eye or nose.

you do realise that great whites are an endangered and protected species right? if so i hope you were being sarcastic

besides people should take this as a lesson in humility, when you're in the sea you are on its turf, and they initialy think that you taste delicious
