Shark Week doesn't kick off until Aug. 12, but Discovery is trying to frighten you with promos well in advance. Remarkably, it's the 25th anniversary of Shark Week this year. The theme for the ads this time around: "Any closer, you'd be bait." mOcean in Los Angeles did the ads. Credits after the jump.
