The "Summer of the Shark" when, in the Summer of 2001, unprovoked shark attacks were actually lower than average, but the media, bored with having nothing to report, decided to hype up the few that had happened and pass it off as a sudden outbreak of shark attacks.

Because, you know, we were desperately in need of something to be afraid of.

Hilarious in hindsight.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.
