on the discovery channel. as in, let's discover how gullible you really are.
i have been acquainted with THE TRUTH. merpeople exist. they are at the core of a big conspiracy - it's the navy responsible for keeping us in the dark about them. they don't want us to know. they just want to SPONSOR the fake doc made about them.
just consider yourselves lucky - if i still smoked weed, this thread would be me trying my damnedest to convince you that it was all real.
is this a real reach for the navy to try to get recruits? like when they recruited bart, millhouse, nelson and ralph to be in the boy band on the simpsons? maybe people see it and think if they join they will find out the truth. my dad used to be in the navy. i sent him an email, asking him about it, but he never wrote back. i think he is in on it.

Ha, nice write up.
My mom watched this on Animal Planet, thinking it would be a fun piece of cryptozoology. After a while, she realized how stupid it was, but kept hate watching anyway, then called me to bitch about it. I still can't believe Animal Planet or Discovery would air a fictional documentary as fact.
On the plus side, the clips she made me watch were hilarious. She described it as "Avatar underwater", which I thought was pretty good for an old woman who has never seen Avatar.

The mermaid in that ad must have been watching a lot of really, really bad horror films. "I know, I'll lay still until some moron walks up on me than I'll jump up and do that 'stoopid' face on him." I'd like to think that if mermaids really did exist they wouldn't be that dumb. By the way, I watched the first five minutes, or ten or so, of that show and thought the God awful Ancient Aliens program on History channel presented more facts. Made up or misinterpreted facts, but facts none-the-less.  |

I saw this when it was on a few months ago. Man, what is T.V. coming to?

my sister and i watched it last night and laughed at...the...halting...manner...of...speaking from the "scientists." "hands...........................................................they had hands."
i like that comparison to avatar. i said it reminded me of the "documentary" that aired before the release of the blair witch project. i wonder if there is a mermaid movie in the works. i'll stick with ariel. at least she could sing.

The narrative parts made me wonder if it was a failed movie that they decided to turn into a faux documentary. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking, because the scene with the megaladon is hilariously bad MST3K fodder, and I want this terrible movie to exist. And yea, gotta love Ariel. I hate just about all things DisKnee, but that was a good one. |

I'm sorry...when did Discovery Channel stop showing reality shows to even find the time to make a fake documentary? |

i didn't really mean it about ariel. i mean, i'd pick her over the body found freaks, but that's it. she had it made in the sea and threw it all away to get a boyfriend. come on.

Well, that's the realistic way to see it. In fairy tale land, she wanted to try something new and took the risk. That's not a terrible thing.
Plus she's hot.

Yeah, she wanted to find out if the carpet would match the drapes if she was granted legs. Sadly, the film leaves this plot point in ambiguity. |

Evidently, the priest is the only one to find out during the film.

Yeah, and I assume he lives in the infamous golden turret of the sea castle.

Ha. I think Ace and Gary from the Ambiguously Gay Duo might have stolen that turret to make their car.
