    @gil
    Take your pathetic off-topic spam elsewhere. Try Digg.com they thrive on morons or twelve year olds or both - so you should fit right in.

    All I can think is that the fish look like Voldemort!

    LOL @ VonSkippy and Gil. That's a link to a site featured on Neatorama 2 weeks ago! (Albiet, that *particular* link is to a specific users city, increaing their industry stat).

    But the fish do look like Seaman fish. I wonder is that's where the game creators got the idea.

    I can't believe I am the first to say, "Creepy". I am not sure I would stay in the same room as them for very long.

    Von Skippy was referring to a spam comment that has since been deleted.

    My brain must not be working right. I've seen this clip so many times and they don't look like human faces at all to me. They look like fishes, not creepy ones, not scary in anyway. Just fish. What am I missing? I don't get it. :(

    There's nothing special about those fish. Koi have had "human faces" forever. It's just an illusion of their scale coloration.

    I took this photo of one at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center last year.

    Glad Im not the only one that thought Seaman when I saw this. I think mine is still happily living out his froggy life on a Dreamcast vmu somewhere

    really creepy... is it a naturally occuring hybrid or a product of genetic manipulation?... actually either way I restate, really creepy!

    For me, that is the stuff of nightmares.

    They remind me of the man-faced dog at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

    Angie, I think the fish were just cross bred.

    Reminds me of Monthy Pythons Meaning of Life fish scene. Creepy! I'd be super freaked if I saw one of these while snorkling around!

    meh.

    Why is this so startling? They don't look all *that* human.

    I just think it's funny that a person named "Gil" was making a comment in a thread about fish. Get it - gill?

    Yeah, I don't think they look that human either. Maybe a little more like and animal than an average fish but not human. That's just my opinion. The video is not real clear. Maybe in "person" they look better.

    Does anyone remember those "Animorph" books? I know the final one's a lizard (negative capability) but the third/fourth pic is a complete match http://www.scholastic.com/animorphs/download/anim01.jpg
