Of course they are going to put our all time Gold Medal Olympic swimmer in in the water with a real shark.......really people?!?!

So people are pissed that the Shark Week special pitting the worlds fastest swimmer against a great white was a *gasp* simulation.

The gist from that article...

Did we really think they would put him in a pool/whatever with a f**king great white?!?!  

Of course its a simulation!  But they did a lot of science.  Did you watch the show???  Did you crazy f**kers really want the great Michael Phelps to be eaten by a shark?!?!  You sick Bastards! 

It wasn't a bad special but even when I heard about it I NEVER thought "so Michael in lane one and Jaws in lane two".  

I figured it would be all analytic figuring out the averages for a Great White and then Phelps doing the same distance in the same water and being timed.  Culminating in Phelps and a CGI shark racing in the ocean.  I thought it was kind of cool, you people just wanted blood shed.

I just find this all very amusing.
