Kids Rattle Stats Off to Save Sharks
Check out "Don't Hate," an ad where a bunch of wise-arse kids barrage ign'ant adults with shark-friendly statistics like "Did you know you're more likely to be killed by a coconut falling out a tree?"
Don't get me wrong, it's a good message. Something about these kids -- the way they talk, their righteous I adhere to the Food Pyramid! tenors -- makes me want to tie my tubes, though. But hey, I also learned that sharks "just aren't interested" in eating me.

That's what they think!
Distributed by Raging Artists for Wild Aid. See variants. Oh yeah, and KISS stands for "Kids Involved in Saving Sharks," which was founded by an 11-year-old boy. Somebody I know was all, "Ugh. KAP -- Kids As Pawns. Can we puh-LEEZE stop that insanity." SRSLY, yo.

There certainly is something about being chastised by a child that has a rather irksome quality that makes me want to argue back a little. For instance, I know that the chances of anyone anywhere getting killed by a shark may me miniscule, but what are the chances for someone who's been in the ocean this year? Probably higher than the chances of getting killed by a coconut...
