    What we have here is an intelligence failure. You may be familiar with staring directly at that when shaving. .

    I hope this pic goes viral?

    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    I don’t understand how anyone could think this was real. As in, I’m asking politely, help me understand? I can’t explain exactly how I know photos and videos are fake though, but ithey all are just a bit off to me. Some are well done but is it just that I’m cynical these days?

    I’m sure Snopes has more technical info, but here’s what I can figure.

    1) the proportions are off. That shark would be the size of a cruise ship based on the size of the surface waves.

    2) the angles are wrong. The shark is moving forward at speed, yet the water is moving close to vertical.

    3) sharks don’t breach for fun as far as I know. You only ever see them chasing prey off the coast of S Africa when they breach.

    4) the shark seems static. Again, most other times you see a shark its body is in a more dynamic position

    With a larger res picture you could probably look at a pixel level and see inconsistencies as well.

    You can tip toe away from a bear. If you're smart you can almost reason with him.

    You can't do that with a shark. For my kids, Jaws has always been a comedy. Then again we live in Wyoming.
