Proof or Hoax? Bigfoot Found in Georgia
Quote:
Kind of looks like fake fur product to me. I'd like for them to discover something as incredible as this, but I don't think that they ever really will. I'm very much fascinated by the ideas and stories, kind of like a ghost story or urban legend. There's another write up here: Proof or Hoax? Bigfoot Said Found in Georgia | LiveScience

Heard about this on Q this afternoon. Could certainly be real. Hope so.
Although it would ruin the Chuck Kolsterman question "If in one day a group of hunters in Oregon accidentally captured a big foot, a few fisherman found the dead body of a recently deceased Loch Ness, and the president of the united states had a heart attack and was in the ICU; which would be the headline of the NY Times if you were the editor?"

If they can provide a corpse for a reputable scientific institute to study, then I'll believe it. Until then, I am skeptical at best.
punkmusicfan21: Q, as in Q107? Are you in Toronto now? And if so, why the hell didn't you say something? I've been waiting for my chance to buy you beer.

well, a police officer should know enough about DNA evidence to not try to pull such a thing if he KNOWS he'll be found a fraud. *shrug*
But then, people are idiots, so, we'll see...

I'll wait for the scientific report. The pic is not conclusive. We'll just have to wait and see though. I'm not holding my breath.

I was about to say that because this object was found by two "bigfoot hunters" and the only expert they were willing to show their find to was another "bigfoot hunter" I am siding with Hoax.
If this was real, what are the chance that a) a bigfoot hunter is going to make the discovery and b) why wouldn't you be pounding on the door of the Smithsonian or some highly respectable institution? Hoax...

Does anyone else find it amusing that they stuffed their prop into a giant freezer? The supposed 400+lb creature was just manhandled into a freezer! That's hilarious! They didn't even cut it up first, isn't that how you normally put bodies into a freezer? Hardy har har.
Nice debunk. Pretty simple stuff. |

In another article, they claimed it was around 16 inches.

How does this crap even become news? Shit like this shouldn't even be reported on until there's some kind of official source. CNN, "the most respected cable news channel" has been reporting on this shit all week.. WHO FUCKING GIVES A SHIT! Haven't we learned from the years and years and years and.. fucking years of hoaxes never to give something a second thought until the proof is unveiled?
People are stupid. -----Added 15/8/2008 at 05 : 23 : 16----- I would like to say one thing though.. I see stuff like "oh it'd be more believable if it wasn't discovered by bigfoot hunters." but really, who would you expect to find it.. Surely not some accountant doing taxes in his H&R block looking out the window, and not me who's inside playin video games.. You're not likely to find something unless you're really lookin for it..

Hoax confirmed
Bigfoot Hoax Called A 'Scheme To Defraud' -- Bigfoot -- InformationWeek Now don't get me wrong, I do think there is a remote possibility of a large undiscovered primate, simply because the indirect evidence (remote footprints, etc) is pretty widespread. Sightings are of course subjective, but people have seen something, for sure. That said, this is not one of those cases, and I honestly smelled a hoax from the beginning.

People who are desperate to "believe" are the easiest to defraud. They work for an organization called, Searching for Bigfoot, Inc.... why not just hang a sign around their necks saying, "please take our money".

Yep. Hoax. Pretty sad that one of the guys lost his job on the police force because of it.
