I am going to ***** about something no one gives a damn about, you've been warned.</p>
</p>
I am a little late to the Shark Week party due to DVRing it. After watching Megalodon the Monster That Lives all I can say is **** you discovery channel, **** you in your ass with a rust barbed dildo. I remember the dragon mockumentary and you guys billed it as that, a mockumentary you were upfront about it advertised it as a mockumentary and the special was fucking awesome. It played out like it should have played out which was if dragons existed here's how the discover and science would play out. Alright I am on board for that type of stuff. But the Megalodon special you did no such thing, you tried to pass it off as legit science and very vague clues to it being full of shit.</p>
</p>
I went in suspicious to begin with but figured what the hell but then shit started to pop up that wasn't making much sense. A really bad photoshop gave you away. Sure it would be neat (and utterly fucking terrifying) if the Megalodon still existed but it doesn't. You cite the Colossal Squid and Giant Squid as your "it could be out there" evidence, here's the thing about them. We've KNOWN they were out there for years due to dead ones washing up on the shore and being caught in fishing nets. There was always indisputable proof those animals existed, we just hadn't seen one alive yet (for those that stuck with me this far, as of 2012 both have been filmed alive, I watched both documentaries on them). Hell you even mentioned the Megamouth Shark that was only discovered in 1976, a better argument but still shakey since that shark is a deep water shark and you also filmed it for the first time a documentary that aired later in the week of this year's shark week. So we know about that shark we know why it is elusive.</p>
</p>
Now here's the thing, if the Megalodon still existed we would see a lot more whale caracasses washed up on beaches with massive chunks missing. Actually we would have lost early military subs to this animal because a sub looks like a damn whale and that hull ain't going to hold up to an 80ft. Megalodon.</p>

For a long time Shark Week has been one of my favorite and least favorite weeks of the year. Least favorite because I know I am going to get several shark attack documentaries because they get rating as pointless as most of them are (there are a couple that are great and go into the science of why an attack happened, some insightful shit in there) but most of them are just crap. But there is always a few documentaries towards learning and education that I truly enjoy and look forward to, but please never do a top 10 deadliest shark list again, that shit was hilarious and way the **** off at least 6 of the shark had no business on the list, the others only 2 were serious threats.</p>
</p>
It grows ever harder to find good documentaries that interest me. Can i please just be sent back to 1995 when discovery channel and history were awesome and not the crapfests they've become.</p>
</p>
Anyway that is my rant bitching out discovery channel.</p>

You are absolutely correct, really started going down hill for me the moment they started cutting out the Lions and shit killing their prey. Its like all that anticipation and you take away the payoff. They just cut it to when they are eating after its dead. Dude, I want to see the life drain out of that things eyes before they devour it.</p>
