Yep, cherished memories are being destroyed left and right. Now I'm starting to wonder if that the scary Land Shark on SNL was real.

Remember back in December 2014, when Discovery Channel hyped that a man would be eaten and then regurgitated by a giant snake on a special called “Eaten Alive?” Then that didn’t actually happen, and viewers were furious?
We bring this up because 57 minutes into Discovery’s heavily-promoted Sunday night Shark Week program — in which Olympic powerhouse swimmer Michael Phelps was set to race against a great white shark — viewers heard this quote from ecologist Tristan Gutteridge, one the featured scientists:

Dang, next they’ll be telling me that Fonzie didn’t really jump the shark....
Driving hits to WaPo? They ought to pay a commission for that.
Another Trump scandal.
I would like to see Nelson Vails race a land shark.
Follow up show: Phelps smokes two ounces of primo weed, gets wicked munchies, and eats the shark.
To those whiners who say they lost 60 minutes of their life watching that farce I say: SUCKERS! YOU DESERVED WHAT YOU GOT!

Why in the world are you posting a WaPo article? They act as the enemy and should be treated as such.
What happened? I don’t want to click on WaPo.
PT Barnum...you know the rest.
It was exactly what I thought it would be too, and I was right on the winner, too.
Obviously they aren’t going to put Phelps next to a shark in open lanes. Seriously, people? Morons.
I didn’t even bother to watch. A great white can swim up to ~ 30 mph for short distances, fast enough to propel its whole body out of the water. No way Phelps could come close to that.

I don’t know as I won’t click on WaPo either. So I just followed the time-honored FR tradition of commenting on an article without reading it first.
Man, does that fire up the wayback machine.
Michael Phelps can redeem himself from obscurity and disappointment by having himself transformed into a woman!
(((Hey...it worked for Bruce...Jenner, not Bruce the Shark)))
Really. Less entertaining than watching a shark flop on the ground while Usain Bolt races to the finish.
