Mermaids
 
I watched the show the other night. Weird to say the least. I don't have any facts and know little about the subject other than what I saw but I think that we what we have here is a group something like Greenpeace sponsoring this fellow to appear like "an independent expert" in an effort to stop the Military in developing sonar weapons by engaging the public in an outcry to save the humanoid creatures.

But if they are real it would be cool! I am keeping my eyes out this year for them ;)

That is my take. What do you think?

The animal planet show was a fictitious documentary (they admit it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3343773.html), all those people are just actors, but I thought they did a great job on it!

Never know what will turn up in a GoPro dredge, keep trolling!

I'm glad they came out and said it was fake. I don't know how many people had to tell me the whole story about how mermaids are real:smash:

Mermaids are now under Obamacare and our health insurance is going up 15%

Gee; when I was with Strike Zone Charters out of Big Pine Key Fl. we had one come right up to the boats and drink fresh water out of our wash down hose, I think it was one?

Like I tell my kids, don't believe everything you see on Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Haven't seen any mermaids yet.... but I've seen Zombies at the south end of Block Island during new moon nights in November.

Rockfish9 06-04-2013 08:25 AM

Just watching the adds was enough to make me not watch it... they need to dispose with the big foot foolishness as well..Generaly they have pretty good programs... sometimes I think they, like discovery channel throow things against the wall to see what will stick.. there are some real gullible people out there... elsewise.. the Kardashians woulndt make the first months rent.

Rockport24 06-04-2013 08:38 AM

You know they are reaching for an audience when Jeremy Wade from "River Monsters" does a Loch Ness episode, and pretty much gives up and goes fishing in Iceland instead.

Maybe they can do a show that explains where pool turds come from, so we know exactly who to blame?

JackK 06-04-2013 10:41 AM

Mermaids are real. Didn't you guys watch the show?

that show aggrivated me as well... I generally like his programs/approach... that one had me changing the channel as well...

Just the other day I saw a Mermaid and a Squatch.

Rockport24 06-04-2013 01:30 PM

Did you see the Squatch in Rhode Island? LOL! That damn show has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever... what's crazy is I bet those idiots get paid a decent amount to carry on like a bunch of gullible dimwits and claim its all for science!

BluesHarp 06-04-2013 05:12 PM

Mermaids, Sasquatch, Space Aliens, the Loch Ness Monster, 100lb Striped Bass and Honest Politicians and all fictional creatures.

Ok - I'll still hedging on the 100lb Striped Bass, it could happen...

Bigfoot central is in Hanover :grins:

and Joe don't be LUMPING big feet with mermaids together
that's like making a tuna fish and peanut butter sandwich....

the Bigfoot phenomenon has a need of a separate thread.

sightings of big foot and a race of GIANTS
that were hunted to extinction
have been going on for a thousand years....
worldwide...

WOAH!! What the Mermaid show as a fake? So they aren't real? I guess I'll take the rubbers out of my plug bag then :happy:

Mermaids are real, they're just extinct. Bigfoots are endangered.

well i just have to tell you.....

and everyone will laugh or laugh again.... :uhuh:

When you see a real UFO ....cigar shaped
approximately 600 feet long or larger that's as motionless as an oak tree
suddenly turn and jet off into the distance so fast ...that in two seconds
it's about the size of a number 2 pencil off in the distance
and this strange light as a feather "light gray stuff" comes floating down
like cotton candy (can't collect it as it's evaporating....)


it's no longer a laughing mater @ that point.... it's a religion.
