What is with this "mermaid" phenomenon?

Question

Every time I look in this section, there are tons of questions about being or becoming a mermaid??? What gives?

Answer 1

Its tv's fault, kids see and are too naive to realize it doesn't exist.  I can't blame them, reality is so dull.

Answer 2

I am going to guess that either a TV show or a movie has recently come out which shows people performing magick to be a mermaid or a show about mermaids. ...

Answer 3

I asked the same question, the only thing I can think of is that there are a lot of children fascinated by "The Little Mermaid' and are using Y/A.  Asking for a "spell" to make it happen.  They seem to be genuinely convinced it can be done.

Answer 4

they wanna be like zoolander of course.

Answer 5

what is wrong with wishful thinking

Answer 6

Is there any proof that you can't become a vampire or mermaid? There also isn't any proof that you can become a vampire or mermaid. Then again, what do we do when we find something wierd? We lock it up, split it open, and never let it go. If you were a vampire, would you want to go in front of a group of scientists and turn into a bat or bite somebody's neck?

Answer 7

well i don't know about mermaids but I know that Psychic vampires are real...the blood-sucking kind arent...well i dont think so anyway lol

Answer 8

I find it disappointing that there aren't more serious questions about mythology and folklore asked, since it's such a vast and fascinating field of study and discussion.

I guess most of these people are impressionable kids and teens.

I wish they asked questions I could answer because as a twenty-something I've been reading for years about mythology. I can't give anyone "spells", but I could really turn them on to some way more interesting topics than mermaids and vampires if they'd give me a chance.

It's their right to believe in these things, but it's too bad their world is so narrow and their obsessions so specific and mundane.

Answer 9

Bec its fun to bother nonbelievers like you

Answer 10

I have never been over here, but if it is anything like over in Celebrities section where people obsess over Jonas Brothers (who I love), I feel your pain.

I find it funny how people believe they can turn into mermaids and vampires. It is in the mythology and folklore section because they aren't' real after all.

Answer 11

Well I mean you cant just day they dont exist because there isnt proof that they dont exist.

Answer 12
