This is pretty funny and very stupid:"Sensitive" Shark Link

What was his motive to pull this "publicity" stunt? Maybe this will finally prove that the only thing funny about most british comedians is their teeth.

Naked man scares shark to death

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A British comedian could face criminal charges over the death of a "sensitive" shark after he jumped into a tank at an aquarium in the nude, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on Friday.

The 12-year old smooth hound shark -- which measured three feet (0.91 meters) -- died suddenly two days after Guy Venables jumped into its tank as a publicity stunt at the Brighton Sea Life Centre, southern England.

"This variety of shark is susceptible to stress. We are very concerned he died as a result of seeing Mr Venables jumping into the tank," Sea Life Centre's Lisa Handscomb told the newspaper.

"The shark is being examined by our biological services team and if it is found that he died from stress, we will prosecute Mr Venables for criminal damage."

That guy might be laughing now but wait until he is the one on vacation.He'll be deep sea fishing,the boat will tilt awkwardly, and he will fall overboard just as the deckhand releases the chum into the water. Let's see if he get's stressed.
