I have discovered the cause of the Mermaid Fiasco!?

Question

We here at Myth and Folklore know well the Mermaid Fiasco. All of a sudden young girls were bombarding our little piece of Yahoo! Answers with questions about how to become a mermaid - or if they were real, or other such things.

I myself was curious for the longest time why on earth girls were suddenly so obsessed with mermaids. Had they re-released "The Little Mermaid"? Was there some popular song about them? I just didn't know. I asked my niece and she had no clue (of course, she has no clue about anything not related to Hannah Montana).

Well, I finally figured it out! Perhaps you all already know, and I'm wasting my breath. But it seems there is an australian TV show called "H2O" about four or five girls who become mermaids. Seems its quite the hit, and is causing the stir.

So the mystery (at least for me) as to why girls are suddenly obsessed with mermaids has been answered. H20 is the culprit.

Answer 1

That is part of it... but also Teens like me have been obsessed all their lives. I am also one of them. I have been obsessed with mermaids all my life and I have almost 20 books on mermaids. I mean everyone has something they really really would want to have in their lives or to be, in our case we always wanted to be mermaids and nothing can change that.
Mermaids are like the wind you can't see the wind but does it mean it s not there...and please dont tell me that their is nothing in your entire life that you are still trying to get.
