Kelp attack caught on camera
The reports of Kelp attacking people are apparently true. These startling photos show a vicious Kelp attack. In this sequence you can clearly see the Kelp launching itself at Steg Prongsten who is running for his life. Steg is a former Olympian who is now the assistant to Professor Trenston Claggiss who is doing research on the so called “Killer Kelp”. These photos lend creedance to local Indian legends that spoke of the “angry sea serpent” and early reports from mariners who reported “strange activity” in the kelp beds.

Have you sent these amazing photos to National Geographic? I don’t believe they’ve ever been able to catch Killer Kelp on film. These photos must be preserved at all costs.

What is Steg wearing? Is that made by the same people that made the French Wedge?

When we hit the beaches on Guadalcanal that kelp was deadly!! Many a man was mangled before he could even fire a bullet. The worst thing was to be dumped off in a kelp nursery–mother bears ain’t got nothing on enraged mother kelp. A useful tactic was to throw a concussion grenade in the water before you went in yourself. Sometimes there were just too many and you got nipped.

I’m not surprised at all by this attack. No one else noticed that this particular kelp is an albino, the most dangerous off all kelp because they have no soul. I noticed. MY finding.

@Loma
I am amazed at your keen observation of these photos. Perhaps your keen eye could also have picked up the fact that this is a comedy website.

Loma,
That’s not a wire. It’s the venom from the kelp squirting on my hand. If you think it’s fake, I dare you to go to that beach alone. Oh, and by the way, the Queen of the kelp recently laid her eggs! Now who’s faking it.
