Discovery Channel has released a new ad promoting its Shark Week series of shows.
The annual 7-day event begins this year on August 4 and, if the newest promo is anything to judge by, it promises to be an exciting ride as this latest Shark Week ad has made quite the splash:

Of course, the Internet being the Internet, Discovery has taken some heat for the ad in the form of YouTube comments. As Hollywood Life noticed, apparent concern for the seal and anger at Discovery is erupting from at least a few keyboards.
“It’s not funny people its a dear seal!!!!” says user iamazingicarly.
“Disgusting. Even if this is not real.” adds user Eric S. Pizarro.
“I love Shark Week but this ad is in poor taste…” muses user rigbypa.
What do you think? Hilarious or did Discovery go too far?
Speak your mind...
