Jewish men watch porn backwards to see the hooker give the money back at the end.

It's weird enough that the city of Kiryat Yam offered a reward for finding proof of mermaids, but this suit is downright retarded!

Who will they call in for witnesses, Sebastian the Crab and Spongebob Squarepants?

I wonder if the frenchmuseumcheese guy has any extras.

He has some quite dispensable bikini models, from what I understand.

Seriously, though, I can't wait for the court to throw out the case on the grounds of wasting the court's time.

Don't know what the big fuss is. This picture from a 1483 bible clearly shows a mermaid swimming next to Noah's Ark.

Actually, two mermaids and a mer-dog.

An American organization claiming to defend the rights of mermaids...

Just when I thought the rest of the world couldn't come up with more reasons to despise us...

Man, I don't normally go so much for the conventional blonde beauties, but good god damn she was good-looking in that movie. Like, if there's a guy who wouldn't have swum away with her at the end, he'd either be gay or a eunuch.

Thats right, I thought Mermaids were evil creatures, luring sailors to their deaths with their singing?

Yes he was "Fish Boy" and every time I say that people look at me like I'm nuts, maybe because only me a 5 other people liked that movie.

Oh, like the Dixie Chicks, but with a merciful death at the end.

Sirens sing and lure sailers to their deaths.

mermaids are just big dissapointments when you get them out of the water. spread your, uhm, leg?

but the litigation is comming from America. Only an American would instigate this lawsuit, only in America would it be heard. (will get thrown out anywhere else)
