WTF Just Happened on the Discovery Channel?

[HapSmo19]

Mermaids?

Is peyote a requirement to be a "scientist" nowadays?

Who saw that garbage?

[MegaProphet]

It was a mockumentary to bring awareness to the whale beachings

Is the Discovery Channel going the way of the History Channel now, which went the way of MTV?

How the f*ck is a two-hour fantasy tale about a manfish supposed to make me aware of whale beachings?

Wouldn't the story of the whale beachings be more effective in bringing awareness to the whale beachings?

Oh wait you people are still taking cable television seriously?

Wasn't it originally a National Geographic special, since they have the same parent company or something?

Yes, I find it quite upsetting. I don't think there's a channel left that isn't mostly reality shows

The 'mermaids' in the show were supposedly discovered because the navy sonar testing that causes whales to beach themselves was killing the 'mermaids' too. Throughout the show they kept talking about the evil navy covering it up and how we need to stop the sonar testing.
