Fake Shark Week Facts

Please tweet #FakeSharkWeekFacts to protest @Discovery's lack of scientific integrity during #SharkWeek

How could we possibly improve on the words of the great Wil Wheaton:

Last night, Discovery Channel betrayed that trust during its biggest viewing week of the year. Discovery Channel isn’t run by stupid people, and this was not some kind of mistake. Someone made a deliberate choice to present a work of fiction that is more suited for the SyFy channel as a truthful and factual documentary. That is disgusting, and whoever made that decision should be ashamed.

We'll get the party started with this tweet:

Sharks can use the pressure from the bottom of the Mariana Trench to jump over the moon #FakeSharkWeekFacts
