    Bigfoot has been found?

    They were talking about this on the radio this morning, and it seems that this isn't just some hoax.

    Bigfoot's body has been recovered by hunters in Georgia.

    Tomorrow a conference will be held in California to examine photographs and DNA samples from the creature.

    I was going to wait until Friday before posting anything on this.

    My guess is hoax - it's a marketing ploy for a documentary or something.

    But we'll see!

    My friend went on a yeti exhibition in the Himalayas - he didn't see anything.

    I dunno, when they have an actual body and are wanting to share their findings, I'm wondering if maybe this is the real deal.

    That monster (I don't know what Duke is referring to, "alien"?) was obviously a hoax. It was supposedly on a crowded beach, yet only ONE guy managedto get a picture of it, and no one recovered the body? Yeah, that's bullshit.

    Of course I'm skeptical about this bigfoot thing, but it seems to have some pretty solid evidence.

    If it's real - sweet! Maybe next we can catch a Chupacabra.

    About a month ago some dude said he had undeniable video proof of the existence of aliens. It was very similar to this. There were all these news reports, a couple of pictures, and the dude said he would be holding a press conference the next Friday.

    I think we're still waiting...

    Ah, I never heard of this one.

    I just figured since this bigfoot thing has made it into most radio newscasts around here, as well as a newspaper mention, maybe it has some merit.

    Well, I guess tomorrow we'll find out...

    I guess my enthusiasm levels for transparently made-up bullshit are just very low.

    Doesn't this kind of thing happen with equal media coverage every four years or so?

    Psch. Bigfoot, my foot!

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    What's Bigfoot doing in Georgia? I thought he was from the Pacific Northwest.

    Judging from the photo, looks like someone really messed with Sasquatch this time.

    There are different bigfoots in different parts of the world. In Georgia, it's a Southern Country-Fried Swamp Ape, in the Pacific Northwest it's a Sasquatch.

    duh.

    Got to be fake. I mean, if they really have the body, then why not just present the body itself, instead of "DNA evidence and photo evidence to be presented at a PRESS CONFERENCE". Laaame.

    Somehow it will be related to selling blue-tooth headsets, GPS systems, or something along those lines.
