Videos: The Mermaid and the Hotel del Coronado Herb Thief

eCoronado.com scours the web to cover Everything Coronado...well, sometimes we find things that perhaps should have stayed hidden. You be the judge. Here are two videos we came across in the last week - both were a bit shocking to us and we apologize in advance. If you want to skip the videos below, we have hundreds of Coronado videos here.

Warning, the video of the 'mermaid' is a bit risque:

Warning, the video of the Hotel del Coronado 'herb thief' does contain some foul language:

Should we have left these videos hidden? Tell us in the comments below.

Comment by Hotel del Coronado on March 25, 2011 at 9:44am: Wow ... that's all we can say. Just wow - ha ha.

Comment by eCoronado on March 25, 2011 at 9:48am: We know - we couldn't believe the 'nerve' she had to steal those herbs!

Comment by Denise E. Jones on March 27, 2011 at 1:56pm: I was a mermaid once, for Halloween, but it was in my "younger" days...

And herbs really aren't that hard to grow in your own backyard...

Comment by Tonia Accetta on March 28, 2011 at 9:11am: I loved the embarrassment felt by the husband filming his wife taking the herbs, it was hilarious!

Comment by Mari Beth Stull on March 28, 2011 at 9:21am: JULIE! Oh, JULIE! STOP THAT!! "Oh, honey they just need a little grooming..."

That is just hilarious! Just afraid Miss Julie's going to step into the Village and help "groom" our bike population, too...

But, really. Pretty funny. Hope she enjoyed those herbs back to New Yawk and remembered Coronado fondly!

Comment by Jim Rohn on March 28, 2011 at 9:53am: Unbelievable. She thinks everything is here just for her ... she is probably one of those that park in handicapped spaces because "she is only going to be a minute"

Posting the videos is fine IMHO

Comment by Wayne Douglas on March 28, 2011 at 10:42am: The herb thief is the funniest thing that's happened at the hotel since Tony Curtis tripped Marilyn Monroe on the beach here in Some Like It Hot. For those commentors who think otherwise, I feel bad for you.

Comment by Julie Overstreet on March 29, 2011 at 7:54pm: Mermaid...icky.

Herb Thief - Uncool and Unacceptable! If I were that Julie I'd be REALLY mad at my husband for shooting the butt shots - guess that's what she gets for stealing!

Comment by Wayne Douglas on March 30, 2011 at 3:58am: I guess some irrelevant person thinks her voice and opinions are cool and acceptable. Hmmm, maybe it's time for someone here to "chill out" and lay off the sauce for a while.

Comment by Wayne Douglas on March 30, 2011 at 1:36pm: It's also interesting that someone who condemns two harmless and amusing videos as "icky" and "uncool and unacceptable", includes critical comment about the lady's physical attributes in the second video. Perhaps someone should inform Ms. Overstreet that in most public social settings, one does not comment on someone's else's physical appearance. It is totally "uncool and unacceptable", and it also makes those around her wonder what remarks she is making about them behind their backs. Finally (and I could be wrong here), I'm pretty sure that back in 2004, the California state legislature voted to criminalize the use of the word "Icky" by anyone over the age of 10. Have a nice day, Ms. Overstreet.
