WASHINGTON – By now you know it’s Shark Week 2012, the brilliant Discovery Channel creation that’s enthralled millions for 25 years with footage of shark-related mayhem.
But the ocean’s fiercest predators not only have captivated us from the safety of our sofas, they’ve also inspired a whole new breed of fearsome beast. To wit, just strap a cardboard fin on a puppy or kitten and prepare yourself for carnage.
Or at least that’s the idea of budget-constrained Revision3, an Internet television network that wanted to capitalize on Discovery’s genius but didn’t have the dollars for high-tech camera equipment or humongous steel cages to submerge in front of the sharks.
Instead, they bring us a YouTube video promoting “Animals Acting LIke Sharks Week,” which promises footage of “nature’s most violent puppy attack” and a battle between the ocean’s two greatest predators: orca vs. great white (i.e., a battle between black and white kittens).
