mermaid?

I'm pretty certain that photo is a fake. It looks like something from a sci-fi movie.

It's a fake. http://www.snopes.com/photos/odd/mermaid.asp It's certainly creative, but it's not really well designed to be a marine creature. Its head is too blunt, its eyes should be spaced a little farther apart -- look at all marine animals (eve mammals) their better shaped for gliding through the water and their eyes are further out, to allow for better vision in the water. Also, a mermaid probably wouldn't have a human nasal passage. And where are the gills?

yes i think the photo is a fake. if it was real, it would be everywhere in the news by now. =)

I never knew a mermaid until i have seen Ariel and Dyesebel. Is that true, there is a mermaid at Cebu? Do you have an image.

Well, actually this is so amazing to see it. From the books, the mermaid is a kind of animal living in the ocean and they are not beautiful at all. And it doesn't look like your attached photo. Your photo is more like a kind of real mermaid. The ocean is so large and there are many things are still unknown for us now. I hope we can learn more about it.

It looks fake to me. You know... incredible things can be done these days with "Photoshop."

I don't know about that. A lot of strange stuff has been reported in the news. Then again, often truth is stranger than fiction, and the world is entirely too big for us to know everything, so it could be possible, but for now I'd need to have my own first hand account in order to believe this story.

Sorry, my friend, but this looks like a fake to me. If you look closely at the body, it looks as though it's made from paper mache over a wire frame or something, and the head looks like a mask. Haven't you wondered why the photograph was taken from the angle. No, I definitely think it's a fake... I like my picture far better, even though I know it's a fake. lolol. Brightest Blessings.

I think its fake. I also got the same picture in mails few months baxck. If it was true, there had been news all through world. it is craeted somehow by some artist i believe.

really, i havent seen a real memmaid, i never thought it really exists. its great to know that there's a real memaid here in our country.

hahaha. im from cebu but i never came across this pic. well it looks real to me.

Is this really a mermaid?? It looks damn scary! But it's cool. Is it real? Why have I not heard any news of a mermaid found in cebu? Maybe this is just a fake one, a hoax if you might call it just to draw attention.

oh ,my godness !is that a real mermaid ? it just looks like a sea monster ! i can not believe my eyes and i just saw the movie "mermaid " ,she is so beautiful and smart ! why ?

It''s scary. Looks like a demon....am not goin to say that it's a mermaid. Maybe I would say it's a shokoi.

Great! this is interesting, may i know which part of cebu, did thing have'd been seen? well i though mermaids are beautiful and sexy,now i'm wrong lol!, anyway i'm so interested on this, thanks for posting, i'll ask my friends there in cebu about this..this is really amazing!

Hello jc!(",) I've seen this photo before and I believe its not a real one. It's just one of those made for a sci-fi movie or something. Though, the picture somehow games the impression that what we believe in is not true like mermaids being beautiful and all that. I guess, this photo had been shot for a special contest or something. Hope the one who made it did won something. Thanks for sharing the photo!(",)

Looks fake, probably something from a movie set. People keep commenting that mermaids are supposed to be beautiful - perhaps they are focusing on fairy tails like Ariel from The Little Mermaid? I would imagine that something that is a mutation between people and fish isn't going to be real pretty but that's just my opinion.

Is it really true? How come I never heard about it in the news? Or I just miss it? whooooaw! Seeing a mermaid right before your very eyes is really a wonderful sight to behold. :) If I found this true, I'll go to Cebu! *hehe* Take care and God bless! \(",)_

that is so scary... do you know where in cebu? where is it now?

this photo is fake. its a man made mermaid.
