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!
