For those of you who get Discovery Channel and have been watching Shark Week, you may have seen this.
Last night was the "Great White Shark: Uncaged" show where divers were going to get out of the cage at Guadalupe Island with whites in the water.
After the intro where you meet the divers and they set up the show they put a disclaimer:

Diving with Great White sharks without a cage is very dangerous, blah blah blah...
These people are professionals, blah blah blah....

and then in caps...

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!

At home? How about not at all because I don't know about you but my bathtub isn't quite big enough for a GW.
I know that today people apparently haven't common sense enough to differentiate what people do on TV and what might not be safe to do yourself but seriously, did they need a disclaimer? Especially one like don't try this at home?
 
Well you know just the other day I was thinking, "Gosh, wouldn't it be cool to put a Great White in my hot tub and go swimming with it.." and then I read that disclaimer.
Boy that was close. I was just about to make that final bid on Ebay and the shark would've been in the mail. Whew.
