shark porn
- chilling cinematic moments when hungry sharks chomp on underwater aluminum cages, filled with divers, during TV news stories and so-called documentaries
I saw a show where a thirteen foot great white shark tried to eat some cage divers near Guadalupe Island. It's nothing more than 'shark porn'.
