I had a friend addicted to shark porn. He would just sit in front of the TV all day, flipping the channels, looking for sharks. It got to the point where he couldn't even maintain a normal relationship with regular fish. They'd have to spread chum just to get him off the couch.

Hmmm if only some television outlet that airs a well-promoted and highly viewed block of programming about sharks were to use part of it to discuss how rare and unlikely shark attacks are instead of bandwagoning on misplaced fear I wonder what would happen what a mystery etc. etc.

Not really sure how much fear is misplaced given that sharks attack humans--last year the US had the most "unprovoked" shark attacks ever (53 incidents, including 26 in Florida alone.) One a week seems like a better bandwagon than a shoe bomber, but what do I know.

I know you are not this stupid.
http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/aug/06/us-shark-attack-statistics-fears
Last year, 80 unprovoked shark strikes took place worldwide: seven resulted in deaths, including one in California. Fifty-three strikes took place in US waters, nearly half of them off Florida.According to the file's analysis of data from 2000, beachgoers faced a one in 2m chance of dying from drowning and other causes based on visits to east and west coast beaches. By contrast, they faced a one in 11.5m chance of being attacked by a shark, and less than a one in 264m chance of dying from a shark bite, since just one person died that year in US waters from an attack.Put another way, more Americans were killed by collapsing sinkholes (16) than sharks (11) between 1990 and 2006, and more by tornadoes (125) than sharks (6) in Florida between 1985 and 2010. (And for all you Sharknado fans, those were shark-free tornadoes.)"Tides and currents kill more people [at the beach] than sharks that kill people," said Gregory Skomal, a shark biologist with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.

You are literally more likely to get hit by a bus shortly after hitting "Submit" on ILX than you are to get attacked by a shark anywhere in the world ever.
All of which is incidental as to whether we're hunting sharks to extinction, which we are, which will have rather profound (read: bad) consequences for marine life overall.
― Here's the storify, of a lovely ladify (Phil D.), Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:59 (ten years ago) link
An even more poignant comparison: In 500 years of recorded history, there have been fewer confirmed, unprovoked shark-attack fatalities worldwide than there will be motor vehicle deaths in the United States this month.
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.
― Here's the storify, of a lovely ladify (Phil D.), Thursday, 8 August 2013 20:06 (ten years ago) link
I can't erase the fact that once a week, someone gets bit or that people are irrational in their fear. You know how many people die from accidental drowning each year?
I thought you would point out that there are likely more people in the water than ever before, that we've likely changed the ecosystem, and that other environmental impacts are leading to rising shark attacks.
Not really sure of there is causation between shark attack sensationalism and extinction but I fear it would be challenging to prove. It seems a reasonable hypothesis though.
That said, I agree with you that sensationalism is a menace and we should stop it everywhere. Just not really sure how to put that Jaws Pandora back in the box. There is much more interest in killing, blood, and gore than the mystery of great oceanic creatures.
― the rofflestomper (dandydonweiner), Thursday, 8 August 2013 20:14 (ten years ago) link
Yes, there are more people in the water, and more people are traveling to beach locations. That's certainly a factor.
Sensationalism-induced fear is driving a lot of the "WHOOO LET'S KILL SOME SHARKS!" hunting. A lot more is being driven by idiocies like shark's fin soup and folk medicines. I don't know which is easier to get a handle on; probably the former. The latter problem is trans-jurisdictional and there's no real authority with the power to make it stop.
Humans are terrible.
― Here's the storify, of a lovely ladify (Phil D.), Thursday, 8 August 2013 20:18 (ten years ago) link
Well, you could argue that the bloodsport around sharks probably makes people feel less bad about lopping a fin off. And overall, we're pretty nonchalant about killing the organisms that aren't cute or have no obvious use (hello mosquitos!).
Overall, I agree with you that I should try to be less terrible. Then maybe I can take the moral high ground every now and again.
