The Daily Hotness: It’s shark week!

We’re halfway into shark week, folks! It’s almost like a holiday for me, except I’m still working so … yeah. What has made this week really awesome though is all of YOU! I’ve been getting bombarded with shark related goodies on my Facebook, Twitter and right here on Dtoid. I love it all and want you to keep bringing it. DROWN ME IN SHARK GOODNESS!
