MERMAIDS THE BODY FOUND TV
TV Skeptic: A ‘balanced’ discussion of UFOs on ‘Anderson’ - latimes. TV Skeptic: ‘Ghost Hunters’ goes to the dogs. TV Skeptic: ‘Bigfoot: The Definitive Guide’. Original title: Mermaids: The Body Found. will miss the disclaimers and buy into this one too. Mermaids: The Body Found (TV) is a Documentary directed by Sid Bennett. While this production won’t fool many skeptics (at least I hope not), I can only imagine that the same audiences that lap up shows about Bigfoot, ghosts, psychics, etc. Substitute Mermaids for Bigfoot, Chupacabra, the Loch Ness monster, ghosts and aliens and it’s hard to make a distinction between what’s real but faked, and what’s really fake. It’s remarkable how well this fake documentary mimics actual programs claiming to reveal actual creatures. They’re pals with dolphins, with whom they often hunt or play together in the surf. Just as Bigfoot is often given supernatural and noble attributes in popular culture, ‘Mermaids’ embodies the new species with intelligence, altruism and compassion. Throughout history, people from nearly every culture have spotted or spoken about a half-man, half-fish anomaly. Until they get their big break: fake video from a camera phone. (Wouldn’t the Navy be more likely to try to weaponize such a discovery, as in ‘Day of the Dolphin’?)Īs the scientists investigate the whale beachings and put the puzzle together piece by piece they seem to remain one step behind the Navy’s massive cover-up. With fake news broadcasts fake amateur video and fake expert interviews, the story lays out a fake conspiracy worthy of the ‘X-Files.’ Here, the Navy is so determined to develop their sonar technology that they’re prepared to drive to extinction an intelligent species related to humans. The scientists soon realize that the Navy is covering up the discovery of strange creatures whose bodies are also damaged by the powerful sonar device.
The film follows the two scientists who tracked the whale.
A tyrannosaurus rex rests prone on a shiny metal platform, chest open. On the actual stage itself, the source of the carnage evident. Trails of sticky blood lead to and from the stage. In this story, startling amateur video and photographic evidence, as well as additional audio recordings, suggests whales weren’t the only creatures affected by the Navy’s sonar. Something horrible has happened on TV Stage 2 at London's Pinewood Studios. Navy experiments with sonar are blamed for the massive whale beachings around the world. Mermaids: The Body Found is a story that imagines how these real-world phenomena may be related. In so doing, they discover clues of the existence of an intelligent primate species - related to humans - that has evolved to adapt to an aquatic life, just as dolphin and whale ancestors did millions of years ago. I wouldn't know whether to believe in mermaids after the earthshaking lie or my firm understanding of anthropology and evolution, so I remain skeptical of their existence until real evidence is presented honestly.The slick program uses a documentary style to tell a fictional crypto-zoological tale of earnest, young and attractive scientists who are investigating whale and dolphin beachings. I couldn't handle the fact that the channel I've always loved and looked up to for truth had created the biggest falsehood of the decade. But after I learned that it was all a dupe, I crumbled in anger. To me, the show really enlightened my belief.
If you watched the show, did you believe in mermaids? After they told it was faked, do you still believe in them? My standpoint: I originally believed in mermaids, and just about everything, before watching it. Their ratings dropped dramatically from there. The “scientists” are just actors, the mermaid corpse is rubbish, and the evidential amateur video is completely acted out.
However, it is later revealed that the show and its sequel are entirely faked. In search of conclusive proof, he and his research team are called out to an unusual whale stranding in. The show has received over 10.2 million viewers, making it a huge success. In 2004, when marine biologist Dr Brian McCormick stumbled across a recording of mysterious underwater sounds, he launched a scientific investigation to uncover the creature responsible. In support of their research, they have evidence of the creatures in a home video shot by two boys who provoke a mermaid on a beach, and an underwater encounter in a deep-sea research vessel. It is about a team of scientists who confiscate a corpse washed up on a beach along with several whales, and confirm the body is that of a mermaid. Its sequel, Mermaids: The New Evidence, aired one year later (). Mermaids: The Body Found, aired on on Animal Planet, is a “documentary” which investigates the theoretical existence of mermaids, the mythological creatures that are half-man and half-sea creature.
