  Is it ethical to make a fake documentary and hope people think it's real?

  No, it's not moral; it's false advertising, because the entire point of documentaries is that they're true. But this is pretty funny - makes me think of that episode of "South Park" where the boys were watching the History Channel's "historic" evidence for aliens having been at the first Thanksgiving.

  I don't think that it's ethical to make a fake documentary. It isn't right to label something as the truth when it's not, especially when it's a trusted scientific source. It is also feeding into the myths that people believe in and it's obviously just a trick to get more views.

  They should at least make sure the audience is aware of the falsity of it before having them sit through 2 hours of lies. After that, i think it would make an interesting movie. I guess Animal Planet is running out of really animals.

  COUNT ME IN. Although the mermaid film is a hoax, mockumentaries are pretty much my fav genre. I could find this film not only humorous but informative. It would be interesting to see how the film makers portrays these mythical divine creatures. I sincerely hope that mermaids do exist. But if they don't, I won't be that disappointed.
