Well first off, you will NEVER fuck Jessica Alba. And secondly, you’re an accessory to the systematic killing of tens of millions of endangered 400 million-year-old predators every year. And those sharks are waiting to eat you in heaven. To help raise awareness of the brutal shark-fishing practice known as “finning,” the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society just released a video that puts you in the dead shark’s skin. The militant Sea Shepherds make Greenpeace look like guppies vis-á-vis ocean preservation. Jump for the bloody spot which I found to be pretty damn funny.

Imagine the reaction if mayor Bloomberg’s overzealous health Czar Thomas Frieden erected these swings in Park Slope parks. So, to recap: playgrounds, shopping carts, movie theater steps and laundromat dryers. Where will ads rudely intrude next? Check back in the next few days when Animal brings you an even creepier Ad Creep update.
