Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… Every year, the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break – a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there’s something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers.

But will Piranha3D be in 3D? Described on RT as ” half-nude swimmers, bobbing like human dumplings in a roiling vat of borscht”. Despite the Chukkaphobians these fish are mostly non-carnivorous scavengers and gather in shoals for safety from being eaten by other fish like Dolphins. (From QI).
Dolphins are not fish. They are insects and live on bananas.
Do networks not bother with the 80s slashers anymore?
Friday the 13th? Halloween? Prom Night? Terror Train? Etc. Etc.
VICELAND played Friday the 13th last week.
the sequel ‘Pirahna 3DD’ was better
They’ve been doing this for a while now-2 ‘Sharknado’ films in a row last week-can’t see how that matches their supposed charter. unless stoners are a target group!
