A vaccine for the VAL-pocalypse?
Celebrities… what a gift from on high, am I right? These beautiful creatures, with beautiful features, waltz the earth breathing different air, making different money, attending different parties, often coupling with each other then producing angelic little babies.
Every so often, though, our world’s collide, and we mortals can think, “Hey! I have those problems too!”
Take the most recent case of famous Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Van Wilder, The In-Laws) and his near-perfect wife Blake Lively (The Town, Savages, The O.C.). The two have been married for almost ten years and share a beautiful 18-month daughter but suffer a very common injustice.
Baby Shark.
Any parent knows the jingle, handcrafted in South Korea some five years ago, that takes hold of children and refuses to leave their mouths.
Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Etc.
Well, the infestation has manifested itself in the Reynolds-Lively household but Ryan has a plan on how to cure, sharing on Instagram, “My one year old daughter is obsessed with Baby Shark. All day. Every day. There’s only one way to fix this…” alongside a picture of The Shallows, a movie that focused around Lively and two other surfers getting torn limb by limb by ravenous sharks.
Fabulous, no?
I’d imagine this innovative solution would not only cure South Korean musical maladies but instill a deep fear of surfing in general.
The vaccine for VAL-pocalypse Now?
Aren’t vaccines often stumbled upon accidentally?
Very promising.

I disagree with the angelic babies, something weird happens when two freakishly beautiful people breed. It doesn’t work, the kids just looked a bit fucked. How’s Jack Silvagni for an examle.

The VAL was safer not knowing the shark was there.
as a father, a surfer, a Canadian, and an asshole this made my day.

Every week is Shark Week on BG
Getting BG on Shark Week would be highest water mark. Shark Week or Shark Tank.
Could I interest you in Wank Tank? Or Shart Week?
I think Wank Tank could be interesting, depending upon whether you take the word “wank” as a verb or a noun. 😆
