Do you love Shark Week?  Even the sharks are getting caught up in it this year- have you seen how many shark news stories and videos there are this year?  One fun “fan” video even gives you her “safety tips” on staying safe this summer- if you haven’t seen it yet, you need to google it. (OK, just click here and make sure you have sound on, too funny!)

Discovery channel is gearing up for the 28^th annual Shark Week, airing on Discovery Channel July 5^th-11^th, with a full lineup of Shark Week products that are sure to make a splash with fans this year.   We love Shark Week!  It makes me squirmy, not going to lie- those people who interact with the sharks take some crazy risks, it makes me crazy!  LOL. We just watched an episode where they were tracking Joan of Shark (really) and first a guy who lost an arm and leg to sharks wanted to go out in a kayak to attempt to clip a camera to a shark’s fin- until the shark tried to eat the kayak.  Yes.  Then a second guy allowed them to swing him out with this strange rope and pully system, and went right into the ocean- you know, where the sharks were swimming inches from him?  Arg!  Yeah, I jumped.  A lot.

Every year Shark Week takes fascinated viewers on a journey to the depths of the sea uncovering the secrets of the ocean’s top predator. Discovery’s longest-running programming event thrills fans of all ages who are fascinated by the often misunderstood shark. More than just a week-long ratings bonanza, Shark Week has become a pop culture phenomenon with a massive buzz factor.

What’s new this year?  From plush sharks (available at Toys R Us for $9.99) to Sharkopedia: The Complete Guide to Everything Sharks – a fun book that lets you learn everything there is to know about these awesome predators (available at: Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and DiscoveryStore.com for $19.99) and even towels to dry off after your dip in the “shark’s house”, LOL (the ocean, if you didn’t watch the video yet) available for $10-$15 at Target, there is something for every Shark Week lover.

Don’t wait- grab your shark inspired goods and hit the beach!  Or, you know- the couch.  Whatever works.  Have fun this summer!
