Maybe like 10 years or so, but I recall animal planet was... a nature channel.. they had documentaries about the rain forest and lions and stuff. That's a pretty far from star trek mermaiks. Mixing sci fi and documentaries only serves to give the network a bad rep I think. Yeah this is all very unfortunate.

I was working with someone the other day and they told me about this. Once he finally got the message that I didn't believe at first thought, he then went on to tell me that he had seen a UFO. Hokay. It's all cool, people can be stupid but still good people.

This is a "double-edged knife".Some of us are ignorant and blind...but still good people.

Man, fuck the Dragon one they made all those years ago. Me and my Dad were watching TV and we flipped to the channel where it was running, like 15 minutes or so after it started. I assume they tell you at the start that the entire thing is a 'docufiction.' So we're watching this fake documentary, and its all legit sounding and we're FREAKING THE FUCK OUT because OH MY GOD DRAGONS WERE REAL THEY EXISTED OH MY GOD THIS IS THE FUCKING GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
The documentary was so well made (or seemed so at the time), man. They went over each detail about dragons and explained it. The different types of dragons; european mountain dragons and chinese dragons and sea serpents. Their ability to fly. Their alleged ability to breath fire -- which they claimed was possible, citing some creatures currently alive that do things that are comparable.
I was so sad at the end when they finally started talking about how its not real. Something about "although dragons could have existed, they did not."
Mermaids arent nearly as cool as dragons. And these guys seem to be trying much harder to actually make people believe this shit, whereas the dragon one made it clear (eventually... and possibly at the start) that it was all a "what if" scenario. So fuck them.
Sorry about being sorta offtopicy ... I've wanted to share that story for a while.

The funniest part is the american actor playing the "german" fisherman. They could have at least found someone who really speaks german.
|
Haha I remember seeeing that dragon documentation. Eventually I figured out it was fake when they explained how dragons mated. That was too stupid to be true
|
don't align this shit with UFOs, go watch the disclosure project if you think UFOs/aliens are as laughable as this BS
|
this makes me think idiocrazy was a documentary.
|
I remember seeing the dragon one....half of the stuff i believed at the start casue of the platinum fire breathing thing? didnt know about platinum all too well so i took what they said....than came the retardedness...would have been cool if it was real, but meh..i have skyrim for my dragons

I dont understand how they can cite this as a documentary, i wrote my bachelor thesis on what is and what isn't a documentary and how fiction affects it and this isn't even close. I'd even call this fraud or false marketing if they are truly marketing this as a documentary. I understand mockumentaries but for a "science" channel like discovery and animal planet to get behind this is just so bad its unreal.

Damn, seems like Cthulhu is rising.

It felt like watching the prequel to Avatar 2. 3 bulging melons out of 5.

I know a guy that constantly swears to me up and down with the most absolute stone cold seriousness that when he was a kid he was in the woods and he seen a big foot crashing through the woods chasing after a deer. he says it tackled the deer at a full speed run and snapped its neck and threw it over its shoulder and walked away with the deer on its shoulders. he swears up and down that its true.. and Im pretty damn good at detecting bullshit. I dunno if he seen bigfoot or not but he sure thinks he seen bigfoot.
Hes obseessed with bigfoot.. has websites and shit about the "hunt for bigfoot"
I dunno.... man.

Could be a dream. Kids don't develop tangible cognitive abilities until the age of 5. So he may be camping one day in the woods with his parents and then BAM! it hits him.
But a big foot does sounds more plausible than Christianity.

Amirite? I think you're fairly alone in the fetish of wanting to bang a girl who's a fish under the navel.
We have to find a reverse mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom.
