Super Sunday Sharkweek 2009

Hola bitches! I just found out that sharkweek starts this Sunday on the Discovery Channel, I'm not really sure how I'm just now hearing about this, I mean I haven't seen a spot or anything. Last year I gave you a run down on the new programming for the 2008 Sharkweek... Here it is for 2009:

Blood In the Water – 2 hour premiere!
Sunday, August 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
The true story behind the bloody shark attacks of 1916 that inspired the movie "Jaws." A 9 foot long shark cruises just off the New Jersey beaches. It's actually not about a young shark that gets it's period for the first time and is totally mortified at a pool party. This infamous story is basically where it all started with the mass media hysteria of how sharks can kind of be assholes. I still like'em though. Brought to you by:
Deadly Waters
Monday, August 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
Survivorman’s Les Stroud is back for more nail biting - shark chomping action, and this time, he’s taking on the deadliest waters around the world. Les is gonna go around and find out exactly where the hot spots are and how you can talk a shark out of biting you, simply by staying calm and reasoning with it. Brought to you by:

Day of the Shark 2
Monday, August 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

See what happens in this harrowing hour, when a great white breaks through a 300-pound aluminum shark cage and traps the divers inside. Another shark tackles a former Navy Seal in shallow waters off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida. And a bull shark invades a spear-fishing trip in the Bahamas. Brought to you by:

Sharkbite Summer
Tuesday, August 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
The bite-by-bite account of America's notorious "Summer of the Shark" in 2001. What the fuck?... Something else happened in 2001... What the fuck was that again? Shit, I can't remember, I guess I forgot. (Y'all getting this? haha) I'm gonna put together a little art piece about this event (involving towers) I can't remember. I think I'm gonna call it "Forgetta'Bout It!" Stay tuned for that... and of course Sharkbite Summer. Brought to you by:

Great White Appetite
Wednesday, August 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
The Great White is one of the most of the most feared predators on earth as well as one of it’s most efficient hunters. Something were not hearing too much about is the rapid rise in Bulimia amongst Great White teens. The celebrity obsessed culture we live in has begun to cross-over into the animal kingdom. Even fucking sharks are torturing themselves in the pursuit of unattainable physical beauty. Brought to you by:

Shark After Dark
Thursday, August 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
Sharks are most aggressive and most active in the dark, but the fact is, we know very little else about the nocturnal nature of these creatures. The creators of HBO's Taxi Cab Confessions and Atlantic City Hookers, bring you this never before seen look at the shadiness of shark business after dark. Brought to you by:
