How you come off is all style here, like Shane said. I suggest you ham it up. Send a threatening note to ESPN before you do it, like: "Soon your shark friends will be sushi, the Zakuza Chef", or something funny. Then when you do the kidnapping make a real production of it. Try to do it when you can get the table or ESPN or someone to distract him, maybe right as break is happening, then put a mask on a run up a grab the sharks yelling something weird then run. As he unsucessfully chases you, have a friend put a funny ransom note on the table, explaining the charity angle. Then you can send funny proof of life notes, with pictures of the sharks, (slightly worse for wear), "Pay up or they won't be swimming with the fishes anymore!" ESPN will play the whole thing up, probably use mission impossible music. Then at the end of the Series have a charity auction where he can buy back the sharks, and people can bid for them to die. I think he will take it in good humor, it can only get he more camera time. Even if he took it badly, it would be highly unlikely the cops would have any interest in something that was clearly a joke/for charity. Good luck.
