Want to know why Massholes have been reporting so many Great White sightings lately? It's a way to promote their shitty Shark tournament. Eight hundred fishermen have gathered this weekend for the 22nd annual Monster Shark Tournament in Oak Bluffs, a town on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The grand prize is $50,000 and we are presuming toothy blow jobs from the local bar skanks. But it isn't all shits and giggles. The Humane Society, among others with brains and who are comfortable with their sexuality are not happy about the world's largest Shark tournament.

Wendy Benchley, wife of the late Peter Benchley, author of Jaws said:

"Killing for the sake of killing, to get the biggest animal, is a fake macho ethic. My husband often said he would not write `Jaws' nowadays. It is time for a new ethic of the ocean."

Steven James, tournament organizer, massive tool, and president of the Boston Big Game Fishing Club, disagrees, calling the those with brains and who are comfortable with their sexuality, an "anti-fishing jihad."

Jihad? We aren't the one's doing the killing, big guy.

This year, only endangered Mako, Thresher, and Porbeagle Sharks are allowed to be wasted, and brought onto the docks, sometimes still alive to be gutted before the confused crowd.

The town voted earlier this year to keep the bloody hubris-dripping tournament, but voted to deny the tournament a liquor license, so those who want to watch Shark guts hit the deck at the weigh in will need to BYOB or get tanked at one of the many local overpriced, tourist-trappy bars.

"There's a whole lot of people who really like the spectacle of it," said Greg Coogan, 59, a selectman. "That's what summers are about, letting people do what they want to do."

Ah, yes, American freedom! Do you think the town of Oak Bluffs would allow he-who-channels-Sharky to throw a all holds barred drug and firework party for a bunch of his angry ex-con anarchist friends? Summers are all about letting people do what they want to do right?

You guys like animal cruelty? Watch:

Steven James is an American! Hell ya!
