but what were the 'facts' that it was based on? i mean, if you think about it, why cant mermaids be real? it was true when they said weve explored more on the moon than in the ocean if it was to draw attention to the sonar tests, why isnt there more coverage of that? this came out a year ago
The sonar tests the navy did and the whale/dolphin beachings is what it's based on. The probably did it just to make people think more about what's possibly in the ocean we haven't discovered yet

The only real life fact it was all based on was that mermaids could POSSIBLY HYPOTHETICALLY exist due to the evolution of our most ancient ape ancestors adapting to the water.
But everything else, like them finding the body of a mermaid inside of a shark and assembling it to form a mermaid, all the hand recorded videos, that was all bullshit. Even the audio recordings were bullshit. They were real whale cry recordings, but the "mermaid cries" were just whale and dolphin cries pitch shifted. I could actually do the exact same thing in 2 minutes wit my recording software if you gave me audio of whale cries.
Okay, I haven't seen this mermaid shit you guys are talking about, but if they're talking about traditional mermaids, (women half on top, fish on bottom), and you guys are actually kind of buying it/believe it could exist, you guys are idiots. Straight up. Anybody who's scientifically literate and has basic understanding of evolution would immediately shut down the possibility of naturally occurring mermaids.
If that isn't what this about at all, my point stands, but you guys carry on.
I find all that in mythology to be fascinating, but once somebody tries to take that out of fantasy and try to legitimately suggest it could exist, no. If it's a fictional documentary, that's all good and fun and I'll check it out, but if it's for real like Ancient Aliens or some bullshit, fuck outta here.

Search your DVR at home and see if you can record a rerun of it. You could also get it on BTN if you are a member. It's a really compelling show. very enjoyable. check it out

No. The particular mermaids discussed were both male and female. And seemed overall more fish than human, but still had hands and a human-like skull structure, but the face was more fish looking, big ass bug eyes and shit. Regardless, it was a docufiction, fake anyways. But the proposed theory in it was realistic honestly. It was that ancient ape ancestors adapted to the water over millions of years, first starting by being able to breathe underwater for long periods of time, similar to a polar bear, and then eventually adapting to being completely aquatic. Which isn't far-fetched at all to be honest. They even used polar bears as a prime example. There originally were no polar bears. They were brown bears that over time adapted to cold temperatures and the water and became it's own species entirely.
Now, am I saying, knowing that it's fake, that I still believe mermaids exist? No. But the theory they used was actually realistic and honestly fascinating. Really enjoyed the movie, you should check it out, it's on YouTube, just separated into 9 videos. It's called Mermaids: The Body Found. Apparently a sequel was aired a couple days ago, but I haven't seen that one yet.
It's not your traditional mermaid like Ariel. The one they were trying to say was in existence was a human evolved to the ocean. The skull had adapted (blow hole, bigger eyes, vocal changes, blah blah), the hands became fully webbed, legs evolved into a dolphin like tail but slightly split where the feet were. I didn't see any scales in their adaptation. They also had no hair
Actually, I just placed my finger on it, you know what they fucking look like in the movie (They use CGI to show how they might've hunted and shit.)? The avatars from Avatar. Same facial structure and everything.
But no, we're not talking about some Ariel Little Mermaid type shit. In fact, it's never even suggested that these are fully half human. Humanoid, yes, possessing human like DNA, but since they were split off from our land dwelling ancestors, they're technically half ape/neanderthal, but not modern human. They weren't even capable of speech, they communicated like dolphins and whales through high pitched frequencies in the ocean. And it's suggested that they learned how to hunt and survive in the ocean from dolphins, and migrate wit whales and dolphins. So these particular mermaids in the movie are really moreso a fish than a human.

because thats just not cool and should stop
Yes. I just said that's like the only real thing in the movie. :-|
But the tests didn't beach mermaids along wit the whales like the movie said they did.
Fuck you facepalming for faggot.
