Charlottesville shark enthusiasts need a bigger vote

Ever heard the ol’ adage, "Live every week like it’s shark week"? A local ad agency called thunderhawke is doing just that. Particularly this week, as their 30-second video for Discovery Channel’s "Shark Week" is one of 16 finalists in the TV channel’s "Shark Week Video Frenzy" competition. In fact since yesterday afternoon (and at press time), thunderhawke led its challenger, Miami Humor, by 42 votes—making this one of the closest competitions since Tom Perriello upset Virgil Goode.

Cast your votes, and remember: Live every week like it’s shark week.
