The mighty octopus should be respected, not depicted as some horrible marine rapist. If you need to demonize a sea creature, make it the horrendous jellyfish, which provides not jelly but dangerous stings. I found out firsthand when I was taken to a beach on the shores of North Carolina in my youth. I have yet to return to an ocean beach.

tl;dr

Just kidding.

gigerth, that’s the most you’ve ever said, like, ever.

You must have been touched deeply by this childhood experience.
