On Sunday, legenday US Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was set to match up with a shark to answer the question of who would win in a race between a shark and a human. Unfortunately, Phelps ending up racing against a CGI simulation of a shark and people were fucking pissed because they felt the Discovery channel falsely promoted the event.

Don't say Phelps is racing a shark if you're not going to put him against an actual shark #PhelpsVsShark #SharkWeek pic.twitter.com/qy1mlApUiz
