Yeah I'm waiting for the "DNA test results" in their press conference later today. That should be interesting.

Well whatever it was, it sure looked friendly. ;)

[APzombie]

I was really exited when i heard this. Then i clicked the link and apparently theres like three different stories as to how they got it... :(

I smell horse shit.

[Rapture27]

Fuck a bigfoot

[miguel_montes]

I read in another forum that it was proven fake.

[Smiert Spionam]

The story has probably changed because I know in some states, as strange as this sounds, its illegal to shoot a sasquach if you come across it, so they could be trying to cover their asses.....

[Le_Big_Mac]

This is probably just like when Penn & Teller sent a guy a Bigfoot suit out into the forest and taped him to see how many people would believe it...except this time someone shot the guy.

Yeah the story has changed 3 times:

They have so far offered three different tales so far about how they came to find the creature:

In one, the animal was shot by a former felon, and the men followed it into the woods. In a second version, they found a "family of Bigfoot" in North Georgia mountains. In the third, the two were hiking and stumbled upon the corpse with open wounds.

Of course its BS. The interview this guy gave was laughable. You know he's lying:

I knew it was too good to be true.
That's why I'm holding onto my chupacabra until I speak to Steven Spielberg and we get a picture deal WITH licensing rights.
Me and Chupa are going straight to the top.
My abominable snowman had his chance and blew it.
Big furry schmuck.

Awww,too bad this is fake.How kewl would it have been had this thing been a real Big-Foot?

[the clever guy]

the vid wouldnt load. fuckin ebaums. i'm pretty sure it's fake, like most things these days

[Brendan M.]

One of these days, it'll be me who finds the real bigfoot.

I wonder how far they're going to go with this. I read up on Tom Biscardi before, and this isn't the first time he's claimed to have a bigfoot and got in way over his head. The press conference was silly and pretty much pointless, but it sounds like they still have more they want to show, but when that will be is questionable.

[dellamorte dellamore]

LOL , now that's what i call amateur . The fur , the face , just about everything looks fake , this one was obvious from the beginning .

Don't these rejects know , it's much harder to fool people these days , you have to try harder than that . It looks some wookie after a weekend bender . Did they buy this in the discount bin at the local costume shop ?

[JJFlamingo]

Send the FBI in to clamp down on things I say...:D

[JFS]

Wow ... some guy captures bigfoot and some other guy gets a vid of the supposed Chupacabra at the same time? .. Neither seem to believeable to me.

[eljefe15]

People for the last time...

There is no Santa Claus...
No Tooth Fairy nor Easter Bunny, for that matter.
There is no Loch Ness Monster.
Elvis is dead, white people, this is all you...
and so is Tupac...Black people, I'm talking to you now.
There is an Area 51 but it's not an alien crash site.
There is no pot of gold at the end of a Rainbow...
and a four leaf clover doesn't bring you luck.
There is no God, at least not one that humans have the scientific and spiritual knowledge nor the ability to comprehend with our primitive mammalian brain.
And finally, there is no motherfucking BIG FOOT!!! Stop looking for it and stop believing it when you read or hear about it. Please, just stop.

I will testify, however, that there is such a thing as a CHUPACABRA! My cousin's girlfriend's sister's friend's grandma was attacked by a Chupacabra last April. She wasn't killed, thankfully, but she was in a coma for several long and agonizing weeks. Oh and the Chupacabra ate her three chihuhuas that were trying to protect her. They say the scene of the incident was a real bloodbath. All they found was a chewed up dog collar and half of an ear.

wow...searching for a giant walking ape is one thing, but that story is something else. about as bullshit as bigfoot, right?

[FLAME_ON]

I'll wait until we get more pictures and scientific representation... Supposedly it's on ice in Georgia. But since there's only one picture, I'm guessing it's:

[dellamorte dellamore]

I like to believe that there is bigfoot , Yeti , Loch Ness , Chupacabra , Nj Devil running / swimming around somewhere , but i know these are all fantastical tales created by people who had access to moonshine , mushrooms and various other mild altering substances . I still enjoy the fantasy behind these legends , but come on man , these idiots could have put a bit more effort into this prank , it's like something you would probably find on the universal studios backlot buried behind all the other cheesy costumes they used during their horror movie heyday .

And that's what pisses me off about this attention seeking nonsense , they obviously didn't try that hard , this is some lazy ass garbage for sure . You have to be more elaborate than that . I know this stuff isn't real but it's still fun to imagine that it is , this tarnishes the enjoyment i receive from these legends .

[the clever guy]

my only question:

how is this guy considered a "bigfoot hunter" when either a: bigfoot doesnt exist or b: he hasn't caught one legitimate bigfoot. seems like people are jumping the gun on this one.

[eljefe15]

Umm, It was a joke. Sorry, I thought that was obvious. Or maybe you're just saying it was a bad joke and I would have to agree.

[syxxpac]

After reading that headline, I'm just glad to know Robin Williams is okay.

hmmmm....damn, i thought it was real with the whole "father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate" vibe and all.... :D

[rilocay]

This reminds me of people searching for Bigfoot in gta: San Andreas. Fuck it would have been good to have him in it though, those forests were cool. Was a nice nod on the radio in gta4 aswel, lol.

Ha ha! The guy who was working as a police officer is now getting fired for his hoax of claiming to find bigfoot!



ATLANTA - Turns out Bigfoot was just a rubber suit. Two researchers on a quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot say that the carcass encased in a block of ice — handed over to them for an undisclosed sum by two men who claimed to have found it — was slowly thawed out, and discovered to be a rubber gorilla outfit.


The revelation comes just days after a much ballyhooed news conference was held in California to proclaim that the remains of the creature found in the North Georgia mountains was the legendary man-ape.

Steve Kulls, executive director of squatchdetective.com and host of Squatchdetective Radio, says in a posting on a Web site run by Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi that as the "evidence" was thawed, the claim began to unravel as a giant hoax.

First, the hair sample was burned and "melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair," Kulls said in the posting.

The thawing process was sped up and the exposed head was found to be "unusually hollow in one small section." An hour of thawing later and the feet were exposed — and they were found to be made of rubber.

Matt Whitton, an officer who has been on medical leave from the Clayton County Police Department, and Rick Dyer, a former Georgia corrections officer, announced the find in early July on YouTube videos and a Web site.

"Everyone who has talked down to us is going to eat their words," Whitton said at the time.

Phone calls to Whitton and Dyer went unreturned on Tuesday. But the voicemail recording for their Bigfoot Tip Line — which proclaims they search for leprechauns and the Loch Ness monster — has been updated and announcing they're also in search of "big cats and dinosaurs. If you see any of those, give us a call."

On Tuesday, Clayton County Police Chief Jeff Turner said he has not spoken to Whitton but processed paperwork to fire him.

"Once he perpetrated a fraud, that goes into his credibility and integrity," Turner said. "He has violated the duty of a police officer."
