biglakejake Report post Posted June 27, 2013 can't we all just get along and live on tofu and sprouts lol ? Snuffy the Seal pays dearly in ‘Shark Week’ promo Campaign opens with a spectacular, albeit fictitious, attack on rehabilitated mammal—advertising genius or poor taste? June 26, 2013 by Pete Thomas The Discovery Channel has begun to promote “Shark Week,” and it has done so spectacularly—at the expense of poor Snuffy the Seal. The accompanying video marks the beginning of Discovery’s ad campaign for the popular series, which airs Aug. 4 to Aug. 9. Watch and decide for yourself whether the footage is horrifying, hilarious, or mildly amusing. The story, of course, is fictitious. There is no Snuffy and the news station covering the rehabilitated seal’s release does not exist. But the drama works perfectly for the theme: “Shark Week. It’s a Bad Week to Be a Seal.” Writes Business Insider: “The ad is shocking, awesome, and effectively getting fans pumped up for Aug. 4.” The Drum points out that “Snuffy the Seal” was trending on Twitter after the release of the ad. One of the tweets, via Conner Morris (@ConnerSaurusRex): “I’ve been an emotional basket case ever since I saw that shark kill Snuffy the Seal.” Another described the footage as “advertising genius at its finest,” and we’re sure many will agree. –Find Pete Thomas on Facebook and Twitter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love how these nuts always think of predators as the cute cuddlely animals that don't kill to eat (sharks, wolves, lions, tigers, etc..) Then it's SOOOO.... Shocking that it "killed snuffy"!!! 😭😭😭 I stopped watching these STUPID shows years ago. I love learning about and watching wildlife but these shows are so fabricated and spew liberal lies.

biglakejake Report post Posted June 27, 2013 JUNKIE i think you must be on crack. shark week is top television since like 1988. go ahead and don't watch. you may have just missed the fact the 'commercial' you watched was satire. how in the world would shark week be considered STUPID ? Air Jaws is the best reality video ever aired anywhere. maybe time for you to find ur zipper.... good luck with that, lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
