The Vandal Inside Her



Jessica Alba, one of the Fantastic Four whose superpowers often render her naked, had some downtime in Oklahoma City while filming the movie, "The Killer Inside Me."
So, what do you do with a little free time? Grab some coffee? Read a book? Volunteer? Compete in a stare competition online?
Nah. You glue posters about saving sharks in various public places, like a bridge and a United Way advertisement.

The incident was reported after the pictures of Alba posing beside her vandalism...I mean, artistic expression...were published on a website which said,
"International pressure is the only way to do it and that starts in Oklahoma, the heartland of America."

Yes, that's right. Oklahoma, a state so intimately involved in the battle of life for the great white shark since we're basically a peninsula, should get involved. Save the shark. While plants are closing, businesses filing bankruptcy, unemployment spiking, gas prices skyrocketing, families concerned about their own survival, what better time than now to remind people about the plight of the great white shark.

Here is Alba's apology quote:

I got involved in something I should have had no part of.
But when the vandal mood strikes, it strikes.
I realize that I should have used better judgment,
Or any judgement
and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign.
Peer pressure bites. It really whales.
I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.
Great. Now go remove the posters and pay for the damage. Apology accepted.

I'll have you know ma'am, in the 4 years I've lived in Virginia Beach never ONCE have I seen a Great White shark. I've seen sand sharks, brown sharks, dolphins, and a couple dead non-Great white sharks eaten by sea gulls on the shore, so the Great Whites must be going extinct.

Do you know it's been years since anyody was attacked by one near here?

They must be near extinct by now.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to place my head back in the sand.

Oklahomans! Bah! Humbug!

I wonder if great white sharks are tasty.

Great Whites taste like chicken of the sea.

Yeah, Mid-America Christian, my alma mater in Oklahoma City, was a stone's throw from one of the grandest oceanic beaches in the Mid/Southwest. I lived in constant mortal fear of being some shark's next snack. Sadly, I developed Generalized Anxiety Disorder during this time...to the point that I can't even take a bath anymore. I can only take a shower when the water pressure has been adjusted to be as weak as possible. Oklahoman sharks are a menace and must be stopped at any cost!

That so tragic Larry. You poor dear. That is why I'm lobbying for a longer white shark hunting season.
Besides, like Jason explains, it tastes a lot like Chicken of the Sea. Of course, I prefer Albacore. But I go ahead and eat the shark because I care.
