Thank you for that great introduction! And thank you, Shark Tank for allowing me to be the representative for the first inter-species company on the tank!
I know it was a tough choice - all of you sharks have dogs and the dogs were tough competition, I mean they are cute, but they just don't focus very well, and they are not big into inventions - and God knows, they poop all over! So we spiders are happy to bring in the very first invention from another species - I would like to present, from the caverns of the SPA - Spider Protection Association - the Web Beautifier!
Let me illustrate -
(Indicates a screen)
Spider webs are amazing! They are built in a short time, but they are a true feat of engineering!
-here is a typical web - it starts out beautiful, look at those lines, and how the morning drops of moisture glisten! (sighs) but then people get upset because there is a great deal of anti-spider prejudice - and so they try to rip down the web, and so the perfect symmetry and dew catching ability is compromised!
Why do people hate us poor spiders? We have a terrible rep! Without us you would be overrun with those horrible flying bugs you hate! Mosquitos and those flying dirt bombs - the moths! I think you hate us because the webs get messy!
We have the solution! Lightweight designs to enhance a web's beauty over the life of the web - sometimes as long as weeks!
We have designs for summer.....see the imitation butterfly! And for winter - how do you like those snowflakes.....and of course, for Halloween! Plus, we have a special design for hoarders who do not like to dust.....it makes the webs look like flowers!
Sharks - please join me in helping change the way people think of my whole species - (sobbing a bit) My mother herself was a victim of spider hatred! Sucked into a vacuum when I was just in the sac! Saved from murder myself by her unselfish acts, I vowed to make a difference!
You sharks can help me spin a web of beauty and change!
Thank you!
