1. On a boat with his friends
2. Sees a dead whale
3. Decides, the next intelligent thing is to get on top of the whale
4. Is too 'preoccupied' to realize that there are Great Whites eating the whale.
Seriously? Do you know why shark attacks exist? Because, of idiots like this. Of course, if you provoke an animal, it has a good chance of warranting an attack. Thank goodness, the sharks didn't attack this daredevil, otherwise the article title would've been something more like, "Man attacked by shark." This is what usually happens. The shark gets all the blame.
Even neglecting the school of sharks circling the whale, I have another bone to pick. Two bones actually.
1. Do you not have a sense of dignity?
2. Do you hold so little respect for other species?
If you want to argue that riding on the corpse of a dead whale is dignified, be my guest. I for one, believe this to be utterly barbaric. Not only is does this show no respect for the environment, it implies a total lack of sophistication.
"What did you do today?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just went surfing on the back of a decomposing animal."
Sounds great. You should put it on your CV. Sometimes, I truly question, if people think about what they are doing. If at any point this man, even allowed a lick of critical thinking to occur, he would've (hopefully) realized the idiocy of his actions.
At some point you have to grow up. And for goodness sake, gain some self-respect.
We don't live alone on this planet- think about that sometimes.
