mermaids??

i was watching this show about mermaids being real on the animal planet earlier and they showed this video taken by cell phone claiming to show a real mermaid that washed up on a beach along with some whales. i dont think that what was caught on video was an actual mermaid looks too unreal to me.. also the navy claims to have caught something on their sonar scans.

I watched that yesterday that was crazy, but if u really think of it sounds legit, i mean still finding new animals and other thing so who doesnt say we evolved

true but true the whole show i would of liked to of seen something that would of made me believe they had evidence. the cell phone video was kinda computer made looking. the navy guy said they kept 1 alive for awhile but who knows..

Why does this stuff always end up looking like the Blair Witch Project on film? Why don't Billy Joe and Cletus ever catch Big Foot or an alien on a regular Handy Cam while out killing a sixer of PBR with their GFs?

i thought it was supposed to be speculative. more of a "what if?" type thing.

Yea thats totally legit. Definetly looks like a genuine video to me... :rolleyes:

I could make a better one than that about bigfoot, would Animal Planet be willing to buy it from me you think?

no it was about a mermaid body they say was found

Mermaids do exist. I have eaten of their pie. It is, as a rule, pretty damn good.

i started to watch it about 20 minutes in. I really thought the show was intended to be fiction. as in that would be what WOULD happen, not something that actually did happen. if they were trying to sell that as fact it really came off to me as a bunch of made up mockumentary BS.

do you honestly believe thats a real video? Im not being mean, im just an extremely realistic person without much of an imagination. To me i cant believe anyone would believe that video lol.
Look at how cloudy and dark the setting was. When the kid pokes it with a stick its really dark and kinda outta focus. But then when it jumps up the camera autofocuses perfectly on its face for a second or two and the lighting is perfect so you can see its face. I dont buy it...

i didnt think it was a real video it looked fake to me. but they insist its real and that it was the actual video taken that day

pretty much how i interpreted it. if its not real, and i dont think it is or was meant to be, it was pretty entertaining to me. if it IS real then they did a crappy job of making it look real.

lol I watched that show last night...it was made to ENTERTAIN, I don't believe it was made to be taken seriously (though I wouldn't tell anyone who believes in mermaids that they're dumb, there's weird stuff that's discovered everyday. Who says there's not a mermaid-like creature out there somewhere? -shrug-). But as mentioned already it was a "what if" show meant to entertain IMO. Take the "truth" and the "real footage" mentioned/showed in the show with a grain of salt.

Ok just making sure. Bc what i really wanted to say was you have to be kinda slow if that video actually looks real to you. But i didnt wanna be mean bc i know some people believe all that h00blah

Nothing on that stupid channel can be taken seriously... these are the same people who claim that BP's can eat people...

Obviously mermaids are a staple of the burm's diets that are "infesting" South Florida...

And if the government doesn't act quickly all of the Mermaids in the world will be gobbled up by these vicious man-eating vermin. lol

At the end of the show it said in fine print it was all fiction and speculations, besides that sound they recorded called the bloop. Also if you IMDB the show it says the same thing.

If it weren't for River Monsters I wouldn't watch AP at all. I miss old AP and old Discovery.

You would make a lovely mermaid, my dear :colbert2:



I can't believe we've managed to do 3 pages on mermaids....I love this place :rofl:

The video is fake, but I do believe in strange creatures such as the loch ness monster, lake champ monster, mermaids, and dragons. I always keep an eye out for those creatures whenever I'm close to the ocean or lake.

Unlike a lot of redheads I know who dyed their hair red because Gerard Way and Rihanna did, I dyed my hair precisely for this reason xD I'm growing the colour out at the minute though, so when its long enough and I dye it again it'll be proper Ariel red ;)

Nawhhh :D

And yeah I'd better change that to "I wish I was a disney mermaid"... I've seen loads of pictures of the "mermaids", I think they're totally bizarre and I wouldn't want to look like that... mermaids of myths and legends aren't all "ohh I can talk to awesome fish!" and "yay a fork, let's brush my hair with it!" and kinda more like "come closer to my pretty singing voice so I can drag you into the water and drown you like the homicidal fish lady that I am..." and "nahh mate, you've got me confused with a manatee!".

Anyway. Off topic now... xD

Better check your news sources. Half of that crap is fake (or twisted) as well!

daww :P

For the record, you'd make a great creepy and decayed man-eating mermaid :gj:! With the proper makeup :D.

Like this? Minus the "These are my Zombie Killing Pjs" pajamas and with a tail instead?

I watched about 5 minutes of the mermaid show and felt my brain cells dying. The video on youtube was made by the show, for the show. The show's disclaimer says only the "unknown noise" was not made up.

It's about the same level of reality as the rest of AP's crap shows. Bigfoot, ghosts, celebrity ghosts, aliens, aliens that are ghosts, aliens that kidnap bigfoot, aliens from ancient times, crystal skulls, crystals from the ancient times, crystal eggs that tell you what to bet on horse races....

Bunk. Animal Planet is now Tabloid Channel.

Also, 90% of the news is also bunk, or media spin.
