Really??? AGAIN??? NOT COOL!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anyone in marketing? LJ needs some damage control. censorship never works.

Seems to me sharks are a great reason to close a launch to a deemed cause to the problem. This would be considered a victory to a lot of people (some LJ locals on this site, mlpa lovers and whoever else opposes what we do).

The media grabs this because of peoples lack of understanding and fear. Mostly fear, they know how to dish out the fear. These clips don't land on their doorstep too often.

What if we gave the media all the shark videos and stories we can muster. 100s of videos. New and HOPEFULLY OLD. Let them realize how often this happens with no "news worthy" outcome.

Just a thought.

Funny.....

Now, We wanna start censoring ourselves.

The best marketing for bad press is no response. The longer you argue, the longer it will stay in the public eye. Also, they are going to twist whatever is said or shown to something newsworthy. That these encounters are common will never make the headlines, and thus never get to Joe Public.

Take the link down and nobody click it either!!! The more traffic they get the more they will pursue these stories.

the media will cherry pick the most gruesome or aggressive of the shark videos and it will just do more damage to our sport.
