Mermaids: The Body Found (lol wat)

Okay. First of all: HA! No seriously, that was pathetic. Everyone knows I have a delusional passion for mer-creatures, so obviously I'm going to pick a documentary on them, but what I didn't expect was how angry the documentary would make me. Discovery Channel's "Mermaids: The Body Found" was actually a hilarious joke and ironically cocooned into a mock-umentary almost instantaneously.
The documentary follows a small group of dedicated "scientists" with fabricated degrees. At first I thought the doc. raised a few valid points to say the least, but as soon as they rolled the first "real footage" clip, I lost it. The clips were absolutely Finding Nemo adorable. The animation was so cheap it was absolutely painful and humorous to watch. Not to mention the specifically horrendous acting jobs of the "scientists" specifically "Rebecca" (a super scientifically compelling name to be sure) who at one point delivers the unforgettable line "Hands. They were hands." that left me snorting for hours after. But nothing beats the soundness of the entire documentary's sole holy grail of evidence in their case: a cell phone video that wasn't a dramatization at all (heavy sarcasm). The funny thing is, this "documentary" is listed as a "TV Movie" on IMDb, that just goes to show you how non-credible the film is.
This was an absolute waste of two hours and deserves nothing more from me, especially not a rating.
