I think that some people have nothing better to do with their time that is cruel, would they like to run under water for three hours

It was amusing. I liked the Benny Hill theme and the mixed Chariot/Rocky theme, but I was wondering if it was not somewhat cruel to the shrimp because three hours is alot of time and he can't speak for himself. It is only cute if there was no cruelty involved.
