Mermaids and stuff and confusion

So I'm gonna tell a story, then I'm gonna ask a question.

THE STORY

Today at school, since it's exam week, we had a lot of free time at school. In my psychology class, along with all the other classes, most people brought up the new story on the Zombie incident in Miami this past weekend. When this was brought up in the psychology class, someone brought up something about mermaids being real and there was "a big discussion" about whether or not mermaids, unicorns and zombies are real. They said something about a mermaid special they saw on animal planet. I supposed that it was some old mermaid special that was on TV a while ago, so I expected to be able to find it on youtube. The rest of the School day went by and I got home, it was raining a lot today so that was annoying.
At home, I got on the computer and did stuff on EE and some of the homework due on Thursday. I had forgotten it, but suddenly remembered that I was going to look up the mermaid special on youtube, this was in the past ten minutes. So... I searched it on youtube, it took a few tries. First I searched "Mermaids are real," but didn't see anything that looked right. Then began the search with Mermaids or something, and looked for common searches, I clicked on "Mermaids documentary animal planet part 1" or something like that. I ended up seeing this video:

It's obviously fake, and makes me less eager to watch the actual special on TV if it's ever on again. Take note, the link at the end I do not see!, I didn't see the link before, so don't go there yet as I will talk about it later in this story. So, I looked at more videos by Animalplanettv or whatever, and saw this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKtUyIft … el&list=UL

Another obviously fake video, but I saw the link at the end and went there:

http://believeinmermaids.com/

I looked at the cache and the text only version and saw this:

"The Body Found, Mermaid, Mermaids, Real, NOAA, scientist, studies, bodies, Dr. Paul Robertson, real, evidence, mermaid body, conspiracy, Mermaids Evidence

Mermaid legend is true, and there is proof of real live mermaids"

Sooo... what is this?
Why is it blocked?
The link was posted on animal planet's youtube like 3 days ago
I don't know what this is?

Does anyone know anything about this?

:confusion:

Update:

I looked up the website on youtube, and found this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMiIQjiGHpQ
note, I didn't look at the video, I just read the description and found this:

http://drpaulrobertson.com/

Another "Seized website," with the name of the person mentioned on the other website.

I found the same text on this website in the same way as I found the last text.

"The Body Found, Mermaid, Mermaids, Real, NOAA, scientist, studies, bodies, Dr. Paul Robertson, real, evidence, mermaid body, conspiracy, Mermaids Evidence

Mermaid legend is true, and there is proof of real live mermaids"

And another website: http://mermaidsarealive.com/

Yet again it's "seized," and I suspect it will have the same text.

I don't really know how bloop has to do with this, but I know that it isn't fake.
Is this a huge hoax or joke by Animal Planet, or is there actually some credibility in this?

Re: Mermaids and stuff and confusion

I personally think it's a hoax. None of it adds up.

Re: Mermaids and stuff and confusion

I suspect it's fake, but IDK how true the actual special is, and why exactly animal planet would do this.
