So, very recently i found out something horrible. Something that those of you who don't know may be very surprised and hurt to hear. This is WORSE then discovering that Santa Claus isn't real. Way x1548786751321 worse. This is not for the faint of heart or small children.
Okay, you ready?
You sure?
Are you sitting down? Cuz there is possible screaming, hysterics, etc.?
Okay....
Okay....
THERE IS MORE THEN ONE SHAMU.
There. Like a band aid, ripe it off quickly.

Yes, Shamu that lovable whale of the 90's is a FAKE. A FRAUD. A CLONE!
A LIE.
Indeed, i did not believe the news. So, of course like anything you fear to be untrue, You wikipedia it. And yet, there it was, "Shamu is the stage name of SeaWorld's iconic killer whale show, which is shared by numerous adult male or female orcas at the SeaWorld parks....Today, "Shamu," "Namu," and "Ramu" are trademarked stage names given to all of the orcas residing within the SeaWorld parks." As plain as day. The horrid Truth of my childhood. I thought i was so worldly way back then because i had seen THE Shamu. Not A Shamu. There were tears. I promise you.
I'm sorry to bring all this horrid news but i felt it was time the truth was out...
you know you want me,

ReplyDeletei just enlightened linda and she was all "oh, i knew that".
WHA??!?!??!
There was a real shamu in 1965-1971 who was Sea World's first orca. Because she was a big hit, they kept the stage name and Ramu was the first orca at Sea World Florida.
