Remote control shark. No mention of attaching lasers. Yet.

I like that this dream was only considered feasible once we found a shark with a big enough nose. There aren't many mad scientist plots that require sharks with big noses.

I suppose that protects most tiny-nosed people from being turned into robot zombies as well. Although I hear that Walmart will have the same effect. Does for me, anyway.

Russell Franklin: Just what the hell did you do to those sharks?
Dr. Susan McCallister: Their brains weren't large enough to harvest sufficient amounts of the protein complex. So we violated the Harvard Compact. Gemini used gene therapies to increase their brain mass. A larger brain means more protein. As a side effect the sharks got smarter.

Meanwhile, innocent mefites are abducted by evil scientists hoping to perfect the remote control snark.

PETA would have kittens.
Seriously, the "carrot and stick" approach to remote neural control seems a bit creepy. Combine irritating stimulus with a euphoric reward and poof! Stimulus-driven current junkie with a penchant to please. Yep, this won't be misused...
So, where's my droud?

Won't the wirehead shark get really pissed when it's turned off?

If I go to walmart and there are large, remote controlled sharks cruising the aisles for bargains I'm going to be pissed.

More true than I'd like to admit, mecran01.
