The site has nothing to do with sprinting or turtles. I can't get my spouse off my back, for buying camera equipment. I have no spouse. The title and site name are intentionally misleading to viewers.

I find nothing humorous about lighting turtles on fire, and I'm concerned about the pollution from burning animal materials. There's probably some environmental hazard. (this is Earth Day by the way)

You are also misrepresenting the turtles by altering their color. They are brown not green.

Finally this from the CDC,
Quote:
Did you know that the sale of turtles less than 4 inches has been banned in the United States since 1975? This is because turtles pose a high risk of spreading disease, especially to children. The ban by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has prevented an estimated 100,000 cases of salmonellosis annually in children. This ban prohibiting the sale of small turtles likely remains the most effective public health action to prevent turtle-associated salmonellosis.
Turtles as Pets | CDC Healthy Pets Healthy People

Your site is a heath hazard and misrepresents many facets of it's subject matter and entire existence. <sarcastic mode off>

But you do mention that there are referrals on the page, so you won't be shot by the self appointed website police.

LOL I wish I could have a pet turtle. My friend's dad has one, its still at his grandmother's house - still alive. His dad is about 60. Those things never die!

LOL...I am now wiping coke off my monitor and my nose has permanent coke burns. Funny stuff. Only one turtle was destroyed in the making of the website...and he deserved it.
