  • The comparisions dont really connect with the viewers, however its still an awesome video. Did you make it?

  • @SymphonyStainedRed

    It does seem to connect with some viewers but I made it a few years back.

  • To make the impact you want, perhaps you could phrase it like this:

    70 million is a BIG number.

    Bigger than ______

    Bigger than______ etc.

    I'm not trying to be a jerk. I only stumbled upon your vid because I was searching for more info regarding the abominable practice of shark finning.

  • I hear what you're saying but don't agree. I think the important thing is "70 Million". Bigger or more or less is not the point.

  • I agree wholeheartedly with your message, but your comparisons are flawed. In order to make 70 million sound like a large number, you need to show that it is GREATER than an amount we all know to be large, not LESS. I mean, the population of New York is certainly OVER ten people, but that doesn't mean ten is a big number.

  • ? No idea what you mean. 70 Million is a large number no matter what you are talking about - that's not the point at all.

  • ALL finners should be shot and dumped into the ocean for sharks to feed on! And their families should be forced to watch!!!

  • I say people should just leave the sharks alone. They attack people cause it's their natural instinct to defend or to eat. Besides, they've been here a lot longer than we have. I only wish I couldv'e seen a Megaladon.

  • @yoshihdz You wish you could have seen megalodon, what about the older prehistoric sharks like helicoprion?

  • @calderwisFUCK YOU DIRTY RAT BURGER IGUANA SHARK WHALE CAT DOG EATING CHINEESE PEOPLE..IF FOOD IS SCARCE THEN USE A FUCKING CONDOM U DUMB FUCKERS

  • Good

  • I agree with you. 70 million IS a very large number. It's just that your comparisons don't show this. For example, you don't consider the number 3 to be very large, right? Yet one could use 3 in place of 70 million in your comparisons:

    Over 3 people in Iran.

    Over 3 people infected with AIDS. etc.
