This weekend Saco, Maine hosts its annual Downeast Maine Shark Tournament. Up to 45 boats full of drunken wanna-be murderers will take to the sea, burning tons of filthy diesel in the hopes of killing some Blue, Thresher, and Mako Sharks--threatened species all. Event organizers muttered the obligatory talking points excuses when confronted with the fact that they are glorifying the senseless death of threatened species: food (mercury-laden) for the poor; money for charity; teaching kids about nature; taking scientific samples; fart, fart, belch.

So by all means, if you have nothing else better to do and are within spitting distance of Saco, Maine, stop by the Camp Ellis Pier and try to ruin all the losers' bloody good times. Just remember Saco is pronounced "Sah-Ko" like a limey would say "Sack 'o Shite."
