Yesterday, Australia gained a new poster-child for idiocy. And today, he woke up feeling sorry.
Perth man Harrison Williams made headlines everywhere after diving from a boat near Rottnest Island, WA, and jumping on to the dead whale’s body as sharks circled nearby.

The 26-year-old Perth man has apologised if anyone was offended by his actions, saying that riding on top of the whale was a spur of the moment decision.
“I was out on the boat with the boys and one of my mates said it would be pretty funny to surf the whale so I did it,” he said.

Williams told News Limited that even his parents think he is an idiot.
“I’ve done it, I don’t need to do it again. Definitely it was a stupid act, didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, Mum thinks I’m an idiot, Dad’s not too proud either,” he said.
Harrison, listen to your parents.

This is dead whale surfing shaming and it needs to stop now.
