Phelps raced against a shark

[Alexandoy]

Disappointing but not really, Olympian swimmer Michael Phelps had lost to a shark in their 100 meter race by 2 seconds. It was a Discovery Channel special to stir awareness on marine life. However, the shark is not a real shark but a computer-generated image that swam based on the normal speed of a shark. The public felt fooled by the hype in thinking that it was a real great white shark that Phelps would be racing with.

Fucking stupid. A computer generated shark.

How about we put him in the ocean and put a great white behind him. Let's see who wins.

Oh yeah, and now I am wondering why I kind of just forgot about that. I remember that a lot of people are upset because they actually thought that he was going to race a real shark? I maybe thought he was too, just not interested enough to watch though.
