If you go look at the Animal Planet website, they explain that it is science fiction.

Watched this. What an insulting pathetic bunch of pseudo science passed off as a documentary. I can't imagine how many idiots watched this with no clue that it was all fake.
I really hate this new trend of entertainment passed off as science. Such a disservice...

I was pretty dissappointed in it as well. The little story lines with the mermaids was laughable, especially when they showed the one sacrifice itself for the others to avoid getting eaten. I guess that was there way of showing human-like behaviors in them

If they were clear about it being completely false, and not based on any factual evidence, it would be one thing. But it's very clear that they absolutely intend on it being taken out of context as a true documentary by a portion of their audience. Knowing that there's some lazy idiot out there going "Well I'll be damned.. Earl, come look at this! Mermaids is real! It's on TV!"

I liked it.
I had only heard briefly about the aquatic ape theory beforehand and did some research afterward because it sounded really interesting. So kudos to them for at least teaching something.. Would have been far more interesting if they had more factual evidence. As far as I could tell, "the bloop" was the only "real" piece of evidence they had, correct? (I'm aware that "the bloop" doesn't even confirm mermaid's existence; perhaps just some other undiscovered creature) |

Teaching something? WTF? Teaching misinformation?
The aquatic ape theory is a horrible theory that completely ignores everything known about evolution. That's not teaching in the slightest. It's bullshit hollywood dramatization. This program prompted the NOAA to release a statement saying "Dear Idiots, you were duped on this stupid pile of shit. Mermaids aren't real, and there's no possibilities or what ifs necessary. This shouldn't be necessary, but we know a large majority of you believe any ridiculous bullshit you see on your TV. So here you go." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...questions.html Even Snopes created a page declaring this horseshit. http://www.snopes.com/photos/supernatural/mermaids.asp
