Tourism Queensland Sure Picked the Wrong Day for Their Newspaper Adverts about Going Back into the Water?

Monday's Courier Mail newspaper

I recently wrote a post about the dolphin huger pictured above getting bitten by a shark just after my friends in The States had interviewed another Queensland shark attack victim on

their podcast show -

Hook Island and Sharks: A Geographic Synchronicity?

So it’s a synchronicity combined with a tale of woe?

From the Saturday Courier Mail newspaper

Rick Bettua: Sharks And Synchronicities

So I had to laugh when I saw last Monday's 'The Courier Mail' newspaper where Tourism Queensland must have poured a tonne of advertising dollars into this edition in an effort to lure tourists back into the water only to have a story about a poor bloke who got his leg "nibbled on" by a shark in Queensland waters take centre stage in this edition:-)

At least you can't accuse the newspaper's editor of protecting the paper's advertising interests this time, otherwise that 

dolphin hugger story wouldn't have made the cut ... or at least been placed in the sport section to promote the new

NRL Queensland Dolphin franchise;-)

The Redcliffe-based Dolphins have been
announced as the NRL's newest franchise

The Deadly Red Dolphins?
