why?

Okay, so I've bitched about the History Channel having the Ancient Aliens program (with the attendant non-scientific "we can't explain it, therefore aliens" dipshit) before. I thought to myself, "This is stupid shit, but at least it's confined to one channel."

Nope.

Animal Planet, last night, had a two-hour special on "aquatic apes", aka mermen, and how they're being kept a secret by the military and various world governments.

...... yeah.

Your daily ".... what?"
