Here’s The Gross Thing I Promised: Shark Eats Dead Horse

If you watch it against your better judgment, knowing that it's not something that you want to watch, you'll be super mad at me. So rather than shock anyone, here's a description: some guys were on a fishing trip near Fiji, where the found a floating dead horse that had been recently dumped in the water (hey 11 year old girls, the horse almost certainly died of natural causes, okay?). As they're taping the horse, a shark swims up and does a one-shark feeding frenzy on it. It's my opinion that this video could easily be on the National Geographic channel, because its appeal (besides childish gross-out appeal, which is there too), is getting the chance to see something we rarely see in nature. And since it's not a person, and the horse is already dead, and the video is literally of nature taking its course, it's not THAT terrible, okay? Anyway, all warnings apply!

Okay, now:

1. I love that it's really close to a mixed metaphor (jumping the shark/beating a dead horse)!

2. Notice the guys are laughing a lot in the beginning...and then it gets really quiet where they're probably like "Um, why are we taping this?" and then it goes off.

3. The shark makes CARTOON SHARK CHOMPING SOUNDS. Those sounds have been real all along!

(Hakuna Matata!)
