- hollywoodphony, on 02/25/2009, -3/+40Now maybe she'll help me fulfill my life-long dream of having sex with a mermaid.
- inactive, on 02/24/2009, -0/+36This is touching and really gives a better meaning to how technology can actually help people rather that just entertain us
- Kinsbane, on 02/24/2009, -3/+37I'm gonna write to Weta and ask them to help me realize my life-long dream of becoming a Spartan and sending me one of their Warthogs from Halo.
- bennyshoham, on 02/24/2009, -0/+31Amazing how people make the best of what they got.
- Hayaemsay, on 02/25/2009, -0/+26Haven't you learned anything from Futurama?
- jon30041, on 02/25/2009, -1/+26Weta has some stuff on their site.

EDIT: Well, for Kiwis at least.... - captainbethany, on 02/24/2009, -0/+13That's incredible. Maybe this will bring hope to others who have lost limbs but long to do things we take for granted, like swimming, again.
- unconquerable, on 02/25/2009, -1/+13Weird is better then boring.
- Matri, on 02/25/2009, -0/+10They'd probably send you a loincloth and a helmet instead.
- kismetropolis, on 02/24/2009, -1/+11That's heartwarming on so many levels. Good for her.
- gcnaddict, on 02/25/2009, -2/+11I wonder how many mermaid fetishists are turned on by this.
- babylonian, on 02/25/2009, -1/+9Video? :]
- goldenballs21, on 02/24/2009, -1/+7Pretty good story. Always nice to read feel good stories like that. Great find.
- jon30041, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5I'm with you there. Gotta see this.
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -1/+6She will have the best butterfly form around.
- centran, on 02/25/2009, -0/+5yeah... but this time you know she has the proper lady parts.
- liquisoft, on 02/25/2009, -1/+5This is definitely a touching story, but it's also an odd one. Think about it: A woman with no legs contacts digital effects shop to help her become a mermaid. I never would've connected all of those dots and expected it to be real.
- Absyrd2, on 02/25/2009, -0/+4Three.
- cheeseron, on 02/25/2009, -1/+5no video? no more pictures?
- Gguillorn, on 02/25/2009, -0/+3At least one :)
- gcnaddict, on 02/25/2009, -0/+3Smells too fishy that way.
- cme884, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3"Why couldn't she be the other kind of mermaid? With the fish parts on top and the lady parts on the bottom??"
- theyerb, on 02/25/2009, -2/+4Pretty cool, but am I the only digger who think this is a bit odd?- "Grown woman wears plastic tail fin, pretends to be mermaid." Hey, live and let live I say, and I'm stoked that it brings her happiness, but still... I think it's a bit funny.
- cerealjynx, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3Hey weta, I want to be a real live tentacle monster from space!
Because I've always been allergic to the intense radiation from stars :( - Nerys, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2anyone got a mirror for the video?
- sicamore, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3Ha, kiwi here who has just arrived back in the states after 5 years in nz. Life is so good here.
/perspective - yaysanta, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3Can they make me into an orc?
- elnerdo, on 02/26/2009, -0/+2Or people in 200 years will look back jealously and with spite at the fact that we've ruined everything for them.
- MelissaOfTroy, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2I never thought I'd be jealous of a legless lady. Go her!
- Opiebreath, on 02/25/2009, -1/+2That's pretty damn amazing. Is she going to just live in water from now on though?
I have one hand.. you think I could get a hook? Her story is a tad (a lot) more heartwarming... - aTroll, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1wut
- skztr, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1do you use a one-handed keyboard? Can you recommend one?
- Fortune7, on 02/25/2009, -1/+2Wow. That's amazing. I suddenly feel happy.
- bitterbug, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1You must be new to the internet.
It's packed with people pretending to be what they're not.
And yeah, it's cool that it brings her happiness :) - Farceur318, on 02/25/2009, -1/+2flapflapflapflap
- yaysanta, on 02/25/2009, -1/+2Did you see what she looked like/notice her age?
- Opiebreath, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1No I just use a normal keyboard. There are a few one-handed typing programs out there, though.
- AlienMushroom, on 02/25/2009, -1/+2Cool!
- inactive, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1I figured it out: disable adblock on that page, then the video will play fine after a brief pre-roll.
- AriaStar, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1I'm in America and the video worked. I'm glad it did. It gave me chills!
- RobotBuddha, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Especially galling after they ended with this
"
After seeing Ms Vessey test the tail in Kilbirnie pool then frolic in the harbour, Ms Williams was stoked. "It was absolutely amazing. It's beautiful to watch Nadya swim and to see that dream come true and to be a part of that. I feel quite blessed."
"
Thanks for telling us how amazing it is and then teasing us with no video and a, really pretty bad, picture. - AriaStar, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1http://tvnz.co.nz/close-up/a-mermaids-tale-4-50-25 ...
- Malarie, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1Is WETA still owned by Peter Jackson? I knoe he founded the company for LOTR...
- Robotsscareme, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Bad ass.. I have all my limbs but if weta wants to build me a mega man like arm gun.. I would appreciate it.
- ancientdinko, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1dang, can't trust those english-mermaid translators on the web
- mandarin, on 02/26/2009, -0/+1Under the sea.....
Under the sea....
There will be no accusations... Just friendly crustaceans under the seaaaaaaa..... - MelissaOfTroy, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1it warms your fork?
- RobotBuddha, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Pity on the video being a bit choosy on who gets to see it, but big thanks on the images. It never ceases to amaze me how often media outlets don't grasp the difference between print and web when it comes to image sizes.
- ancientdinko, on 02/25/2009, -1/+1this story warms my dinglehopper!
- NaziHatinChimp, on 02/25/2009, -2/+2MUTANT!
