"There is no evidence that mermaids exist, a US government scientific agency has said.

The National Ocean Service made the unusual declaration in response to public inquiries following a TV show on the mythical creatures.

It is thought some viewers may have mistaken the programme for a documentary..."

What's next? US government statement that boogeymen, vampires, werewolves (etc.) don't exist either?

You would have preferred "mermaid research has been outsourced to MerQUEST inc., who can be reached at 0-800-MERMAIDS at $0.50 / min" ?

To be fair, most of the American public is stupid enough that a declaration was necessary.

Hey, at least they aren't dumping tax money on an expensive education system, just like you want it.

Its a 3 paragraph post on their website saying "I don't care what stupid show you saw on the Discovery Channel; no mermaids aren't real." So maybe wasted tax dollar.
