I saw the show a while back.
It was surprisingly convincing but I’m not an idiot so I wasn’t fooled.
Lol...and we wonder why some people believe in fiscally responsible democrats.
You needs to stop reading what Twits think.
There are so many allegedly fact-based shows out there that suggest that science fiction or fantasy are real so this doesn’t surprise me. I mean, you have the “History” channel that devotes whole series to the idea that aliens built the ancient wonders or ruled ancient civilizations, or that certain fantasy creatures like dragons actually lived. Certain people are always going to want to believe in mermaids or pixies or magic.
Come on down to Florida, drink about a dozen adult beverages of your choice, then go swimming with the manatees, and damn, if you won’t see mermaids..and probably want to kiss them as well..
It's a pretty compelling presentation, especially for those who think that the Aquatic Ape Theory" to has a degree of plausibility, as I do.
Of course, there are plenty who think the Aquatic Ape Theory is complete bunk.
Still, the Animal Planet show is definitely worth watching.
Mermaids are real but Jesus is your imaginary friend.
Wasn’t it Disney that came up with Lemmings running into the sea every so often? My understanding is they don’t.
My dear Miranda, sometimes having an open mind means you have holes in your head.
Well... her 'statement' is obviously and quite logically correct. Closed minded men have declared many things non-existent only to 'discover' that they were there all along.
That being said, the 'open minded' also realized that it is very unlikely that a mermaid such as the ones in our movies and cartoons existed, unless one also believes in minotaurs, and winged unicorns.
A few years back, Discovery/Animal Planet did a similar “documentary” on dragons, which was, IMHO, quite well done:

A fifth of British teenagers believe Sir Winston Churchill was a fictional character, while many think Sherlock Holmes, King Arthur and Eleanor Rigby were real, a survey shows.

It is troubling how the History Channel, TLC, The Discovery Channel, National Geographic, The Science Channel, devote an amazingly disproportionate amount of time towards programming about the Paranormal, Ancient Aliens, Cryptozoology, Bigfoot, Mermaids, Global Warming, Ghosts and Ghosthunters, ESP, and dozens of other alternatives to Truth.
I remember when Animal Planet used to have documentaries on real animals. Now it’s all mermaids, monsters, toothless guys in swamps, and people looking for gold.
Oh, well, Big Cat Diary still comes on early in the morning.
people are stupid
The Animal Planet show posits that some form of mamalian life left the land and entered the sea to evolve over millions of years to a sea species.
Possible since some sea creatures apparently left the sea to live on land according to evolutionists.
But there is another possibility that isn’t considered in the TV show.
Since over 70% of the Earth’s surface is water, what type of alien species would be attracted to the Earth?.
DOH! It would be an alien species already adapted to living in water.
Where is the guy from Ancient Aliens on this one?
What could be more GAY than TWEETING on TWITTER?
