Red, Bite and Blue: Shark Attacks Sharks Ready for July Summer Crowds at the Beach Sharks Ready for July Summer Crowds By America’s Oldest Lifeguard Turned Philosopher & a Philosophy Major Who Flunked Out Because He Surfed Too Much Will shark attacks be a problem? Summer is here, the beaches are packed, and the sharks—well, they’ve been reading Twitter and they’ve got opinions. Gone are the days when sharks just bit indiscriminately. No, sir. In today’s deeply polarized waters, even the apex predators are picking sides. That’s right: some are going red, some are going blue, and a few confused tiger sharks just started quoting Joe Rogan while circling a paddleboarder named Skylar. This July, beachgoers should beware—not just of sunburns and warm mayonnaise, but of a new breed of politically conscious carnivore. The red swimsuits are attracting attention for their bold patriotism. Blue ones? Let’s just say the sharks have started referring to them as “vegan sashimi.” And independents? They’re being ignored entirely, much like in real elections. Across the country, shark behavior is changing. They're unionizing in Florida, gentrifying in California, and demanding bipartisan seasoning in Cape Cod. It’s no longer about hunger—it’s about making a statement. So grab your SPF, hold your iced matcha high, and keep your limbs inside the ideology at all times. This isn’t just a summer swim. It’s a full-on aquatic culture war. And you're the entrée. Let the biting season begin. Bohiney Insight into Red, Blue, and Just a Hint of Shark Sharks are now identifying beachgoers by swimsuit color: red means “tastes like patriotism,” blue means “emotional but tender.” Independents wear tie-dye and just get bumped for sport. A Great White in Cape Cod was seen circling a paddleboard, then rolling its eyes and swimming off, mumbling, “It’s just a kayak with self-esteem.” One hammerhead mistook a MAGA floatie for a wounded sea lion and bit into four pounds of political foam. The shark is now under observation and very, very gassy. A new Shark Yelp has emerged underwater: 3 stars for New Jersey swimmers (“salty, not tender”), 5 stars for Florida retirees (“low muscle tone, easy to chew”). Red state beaches report sharks biting more aggressively — but only after overhearing conspiracy theories about the moon landing while circling the shallow end. Blue state beaches aren’t spared. A group of vegan beachgoers playing pan flute to the ocean got lightly nibbled by a confused reef shark with a gluten allergy. New wave of "Coastal Camouflage" fashion encourages people to blend into kelp. Shark experts say, “It just makes them taste like sushi.” Scientists claim sharks are colorblind, but also admit they learned this from a YouTube video uploaded by a dolphin who “swears he read a journal once.” California passed a new law: all surfers must register their limbs with the Department of Fish and Wildlife as “temporary bait.” Texas beaches now require a permit to “carry concealed chum.” It's unclear if it’s a joke, a law, or just beach policy written by a very tan libertarian. In Florida, a local shark bit a jet ski, found no meat, and went into therapy for “empty calorie regret.” The session was sponsored by SeaWorld and Big Tuna. One blue shark reportedly swam all the way to New York just to bite a guy named Chad who wouldn’t shut up about NFTs. Chad was fine, but he did lose his man bun. National Park rangers report sharks are now showing signs of class consciousness, selectively biting only those with iPhones newer than theirs. A study by the Oceanic Bureau of Humor and Biting Trends found that sharks avoid biting lifeguards, citing “too much SPF and unresolved dad issues.” Meanwhile, the Shark Week producers are lobbying Congress to install speakers along the coast playing Jimmy Buffett to “soothe the aquatic base.” What the Funny People Are Saying “Sharks don’t care if you’re red or blue — if your sunscreen’s organic, you’re just spicy tofu to them.” — Ron White"Is it me, or do sharks just seem more passive-aggressive this year? Like, they graze your thigh and swim away like, 'Oops, my bad.'" — Jerry Seinfeld"If I get bit at the beach, I just hope it’s by a progressive shark. You know, one that believes in consent." — Sarah Silverman"Red swimsuits say ‘lifeguard,’ but also ‘entree.’ Blue swimsuits say ‘cool liberal,’ but also ‘dessert.’" — Larry David"My nephew wore a shark costume into the ocean. He got punched by three surfers and recruited by a pod of confused hammerheads." — Amy Schumer“If sharks are evolving political preferences, it’s only a matter of time before one runs for Senate. And still polls better than Mitch McConnell.” — Bill Burr"I told my wife we should vacation inland. She said, ‘We deserve the ocean!’ and now I’m negotiating with a barracuda named Greg." — Kevin Hart Sharky Science That May Be Slightly Fishy Dr. Shelly Fintail, Marine Biologist (and frequent shark hugger): “We’ve discovered sharks are highly attuned to emotional frequency. If you show fear, they smell it. If you quote Jordan Peterson while paddleboarding, they bite it.” Trace Evidence from a Malibu Beach Cam (May 2025): One shark paused mid-chase to read a tattoo on a beach bro’s calf: “Live Laugh Lunge.” It bit him ironically. Survey by Fishy Polls, LLC: 42% of Americans believe sharks are real. 33% think they’re “just dolphins in a bad mood.” 19% believe sharks are AI-generated ocean hoaxes created by Big Pool Noodle. Beachgoer’s Guide to Surviving July Shark Season Do NOT Bring: Red, white, and blue swim trunks with a cheeseburger pattern (too deliciously patriotic). Seaweed-scented beard oil (you become bait and influencer in one sniff). Waterproof Bluetooth speaker playing EDM (sharks hate bass drops; it’s science). Do Bring: Ocean-safe sunblock and a signed affidavit stating you're not a hedge fund manager. A reusable water bottle labeled "Not Worth It, I Swear." A decoy leg made of tofu for distraction purposes. The Political Chumstorm Red vs. Blue Shark Bait Debate: Congress is once again gridlocked over the “Fairness in Aquatic Predation Act,” which proposes limiting shark access to only bipartisan thighs. Republicans argue: “Sharks are nature’s free-market enforcers. If you can’t out-swim one, you deserve to be taxed in flesh.” Democrats counter: “No American should be bitten without government oversight and a three-week public comment period.” Libertarians just brought their own raft and yelled, “I am my own coast guard!” Coming This Summer to a Coast Near You Sharknado 9: Equity Bites BackThis time, the sharks demand coastal reparations for years of overfishing and being misgendered as whales. SharkTok™A new social app where sharks upload POV bite videos with filters like “Prey Vision” and “Lifeguard SnackCam.” Biden’s Shark Czar NomineeRumored to be half-man, half-mackerel. Senate Republicans demand a DNA test and access to his fish tank. Final Message from the Lifeguard Tower Let’s be clear: sharks don’t care about your politics. They care that you’re flapping like a guilt-ridden rotisserie chicken in $40 trunks. They’ve been swimming these oceans long before we started naming hurricanes after divorce attorneys and arguing about oat milk. So this July, swim responsibly. Wear neutral tones. Don’t splash like you’re auditioning for Jaws: The Musical. And if you hear a fin slicing the water like a pissed-off credit card, just remember — you’re not red or blue anymore. You’re just the catch of the day. Auf Wiedersehen — and may your July be full of sun, sand, and a strong sense of humor.
