Brooklyn Organization Suing Town for Defamation of Mermaids
You may have to suspend disbelief here, but we assure you this is real life; you didn't just wake up in a 1984 Ron Howard film. Somewhat recently there were multiple mermaid sightings off the coast of Kiryat Yam (near Haifa in Northern Israel) which prompted the town to offer up a $1 million reward for anyone who could prove the mythical creature exists.

Basically, the City is Eugene Levy and Coney supporters are Tom Hanks.
