NAUSEATED SHARK [CENSORED]

Nauseated Shark was the latest in Mike The Pod's "sick animal" pantheon, in the tradition of Bear With Searing Gas Pain. So why isn't he a household name too? Well, that depends on whom you ask.

The format of Nauseated Shark's program was simple; every show, a different special guest from history or culture would visit the shark's aquarium, and inquire as to why the great fish is so nauseated. No one either noticed or asked about the shark being outside the tank, or if its health issue is caused by the fact that it's stationary (sharks must swim constantly to live).

The problem lay in Nauseated Shark's premier special guest. This person's appearance guaranteed that almost no network nor website would touch Nauseated Shark's new show. The fish itself was blacklisted, and everyone at the Mike The Pod offices avoids the matter like plutonium. The guest's name can't even be written here without serious repercussions from YouTube, up to and including account deletion.

Thus, this "pilot episode" is as far as things went for Nauseated Shark. The shark's whereabouts are currently unknown. The ocean is a pretty safe bet.

This animated short was created in 2010 in support of a group that shared my firm belief that in a civilized society, getting offended at lines on paper is absolutely no justification for harming or murdering another human being, no matter who or what you worship. If you want to know how all that worked out, the woman who founded the group had to be placed in federal protective custody and relocated as a new person. Because the cartoon was made in Macromedia Flash, I was able to make it loop indefinitely at the end, so that theoretically, it could be watched forever. For this version I only included one iteration of the loop, hence why this video is so short.
