The mako shark is the fastest shark species in the world and can average an incredible 60mph when hunting for prey!

A Possible twist on Interpretation: No matter how bad someone treats you - smother them with kindness... or Ice Cream?

Well I'm made some interesting observations and comparison. The hospital is like Heaven. Prison is like Hell. I have some interesting theory. Also the bible is in order and not organized well.

Thanks, I didn't recognize the character.

No worries, I only chuckled because I assume that it was very rare for him to be cast as the vilan, and in this case it was evident that he was both amazing and had fun with this role.

I just realized that we are living in a tabloid society. Today's generation has an huge appetite for sensationalism.

Every generation has had a huge appetite for sensationalism. Only lately has our appetite been so easily satisfied.

Before Facebook it was Yahoo news. Before that it was soap operas. Before that it was newspapers. But there has always been a large market and demand for sensationalism.

Yeah, I was used to seeing him cast as a native American in old westerns. I totally forgot the Khan role.

Yes there's always been tabloids and stuff but I've been a news addict since the early 1990's and a lot of the stuff that makes headlines now is the stuff that was considered off-beat news before. Stuff that people might only talk about around the water cooler at the office. Now whenever a celebrity has a breakup or says something bold its headline news. Or when a fight breaks out at a fast food restaurant. Or when a photo of a dress is seen as both gold and blue. Stuff like that.

here's an example from the front page of Yahoo News:

Yeah the news has been decidedly petty lately. Not more sensational I think, but definitely more trivial.

It's almost like we're back in second grade. "This just in from the playground: Donny Trump said Nancy Pelosi's dress is ugly!"

It's probably because of a serious lack of real news. I blame political correctness and a highly integrated economy. Nobody dares do anything great anymore because it will offend somebody. No nation dares act against any other nation because it would upset these other nations that they depend on.

Gotta have SOMETHING to report. We can't just say "Sorry, nothing noteworthy happened today so we're taking the day off."
