Do the people who were duped out of money and time get any sort of refund?
Kind of torn here.. back in the old days, a good prank would've been welcomed, now it might get you sued. i could go either way with this.. I can appreciate a good prank, but if it cost me money or a significant amount of time or resources.. I might change my tune.

So.. what do people think the outcome will be?

Dr.Knockboots: So.. what do people think the outcome will be?

...some people at CNN who thought it would be a good idea to cover the press conference live get fired?

Bastards! Not only did they shake my faith in Bigfoot, but they also made me doubt the existence of Jebus. However, I still believe in the Easter Bunny ...

There is no such thing as the Easter Bunny a Sasquatch! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit!

i thought the term was "meddling".

FTFA: "I don't know whether I can be nice to anybody that comes up to me," he said.

You can still be nice. Just don't empty out your bank account and hand it to a stranger.

They will get a book deal and/or have a FOX reality show.

Every single person who was in a thread before this was exposed saying "I'm keeping an open mind" is a farking retard. You know who you are.

Most of you will probably be in this thread.

Seriously, a blurry picture and a promise of a "DNA sample" is enough for you?

They wanked him? even with his guts hanging out?

Bigfoot is so embarrassed over this whole thing he won't appear on a grainy video again for years.

Hey, Cletus! I gots an idear!

Two people definitely aren't smiling. One is Clayton County Police Chief Jeffrey Turner, who fired Whitton from his job as a police officer Tuesday after the hoax came to light.

Wait.. that guy WAS A COP???

Hooly sh*t this country is farked.

sephjnr: They wanked him? even with his guts hanging out?

*waves fist*

That was my joke you meddling kid!

I still believe Bigfoot's real. I read about it in the Loch Ness monster's book.

I'm Bigfoot, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

I hate the South. Kill it with fire. Again.

At first I was all pissed off at the time and energy these guys wasted with their lame hoax.

Then, I realized that every minute that news sources were covering this crap was a minute they weren't telling me about Parislindsaybritney, or jizzing themselves into a fury over the fact that Madonna turned fifty.

Now, I hope they can tie these "journalists" into knots every day with their silliness.

DrForrester: I hate the South. Kill it with fire. Again.

The North is obviously a beacon of diligence and angelic virtues.

"If this was a joke, it was very methodical and thought-out."

Except, you know, the part about trying to get the fur DNA tested.


Also - anyone else icked by the fact that the DNA came back as possum? Are there giant possum farms out there feeding the ever-growing ape-suit demand?

I'm from the South, so DIAF.

As long as it didn't hurt anyone, more power to them. Reality could use more hoaxing.

If they sold something using false advertising, then the standard laws about that should apply.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when CNN showed footage from the press conference. A bigfoot press conference...? Really?!?

Looking forward to the chupacabra getting his own show on Fox.

I'm an empty gorilla suit, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Bigfoot sperm on ebay.

I live and grew up in North Georgia. You tell me if Bigfoot exists.

Well, we know the media will do anything to get out of having to report actual news, like say... the national debt being one bazillion dollars and the whole country basically being totally screwed for generations to come.

That stuff is just depressing.

Oh hey, look over there! I just saw alien poop!

come on submitter, they say the same annoying ass line every episode, and you somehow messed that up.

nashBridges: Every single person who was in a thread before this was exposed saying "I'm keeping an open mind" is a farking retard. You know who you are.

I don't need to see the original thread to tell you have some serious issues you need to work out.

I'm all for keeping an open mind about the unexplained. But this hoopla is freakin' HI-larious.

Pay no attention to the real problems at hand, America. The media and TPTB say you are feeling very sleepy... sleeeeepy...

Black Lagoon - I couldn't believe what I was seeing when CNN showed footage from the press conference. A bigfoot press conference...? Really?!?

Looking forward to the chupacabra getting his own show on Fox.


He already has...

This is revolutionary!

Confabulat: No one was duped out of money. The guy who claimed he spent $50,000 is Tom Biscardi, who has a long history of Bigfoot hoaxes. He lied repeatedly about this corpse (it's on video) and he's surely lying about the money.

He's the biggest scammer of the bunch.

Well, we'll almost certainly have a chance to find out. In other articles, it is mentioned that they signed a receipt for the advance....

Ah yes, the "why can't you take a joke" gambit.

Good luck with that, tell us how it goes.

This is a craisgslist ad posted by my landlord (I will be moving out next week). I would appreciate the assistance of my fellow farkers in farking with him.

See a real bigfoot in the wild this summer!

Learn the truth about questions like these:

--Why do periodic hoaxes such as the latest act of disinformation by notorious huckster, Tom Biscardi, receive media attention? Answer in short: They are part of a systematic attempt to mix hoaxes with real sightings in order to confuse the general public. Tom Biscardi receives funds from the US government to go around in his trailer and a)get people who have contact to sign contracts to give anything they find to Tom Biscardi, and by extension the government, and b)to create sensational hoaxes and turn the public away from true sightings. Portland is filled with people who know relatives and friends who have seen or been around bigfoots. The two men from Georgia are also suspect. Their job history is short and spotty. They are government "plants." Their bigfoot tour guide service is yet another attempt to discredit true sightings by appearing to be legitimate researchers when they are nothing more than "disinformants" (purveyors of disinformation) paid by the government.

--Why hasn't a bigfoot body been recovered? Many have been over the last century, and they have disappeared mysteriously. Nobody can say why precisely. "Jacko" is one example. Usually when people find a body, they feel a mesmeric impulse to leave the area immediately. Indian myths are replete with such stories. This is part of the reason sasquatch phenomenon are usually found in the "supernatural" section of bookstores.

--Are sasquatches ape men or "the missing link"? No, they are sentient beings that have evolved in parallel with humans and which possess a few superior intellectual and physical abilities that humans no longer have as a species. Interestingly enough, some of these abilities can be triggered by camping in "hot spots" where bigfoot activity is prevalent.

--How can I see one? Go to BFRO.com website and look for hotspots in counties near us (mostly clackamas and skamania). Drive to these locations and camp there overnight. Use flashlights sparingly after dark. Sleep in tents with netting instead of solid sides so you can see out. Do not take more than two adult males at a time.

--Are bigfoots violent? No. As long as you are not thinking in your mind of killing one (with a weapon you have brought) you will not be harmed.

--Why do you say "in your mind"? They are clairvoyant and can "feel" your thoughts, particularly violent ones.

--Can I photograph or video one? Unlikely. Since they know more or less what you are planning, they will simply avoid you and your camp. They can also sense you in the forest, particularly when you first travel to a place. If you remain quiet and let your thoughts drift (daydream) you form a type of "cloak" that may cause a preoccupied bigfoot from sensing your presence as it crosses through an area you have staked out, particularly if you are a hunter waiting for deer or other game and are NOT thinking about seeing a bigfoot.

--How can I learn more about this topic? Respond to my email. I am taking expeditions in late September and early October and would be happy to help direct you to hot spots where you might facilitate a sighting. This service will be provided entirely free of charge just for the sport of it. Life is too short to worry about money! I am also moving on in my life to pursue other things. I would like to bestow the knowledge I have gained to others who will keep up the vigil.

--Can I shoot and kill a bigfoot? Unlikely. Even if you manage to kill one, and make it back to your vehicle (with or without part of the body you have killed) you will probably not make it out alive from the area. Other bigfoots will come to deal with the situation, and they can travel faster than you might imagine since roads in remote locations are often windy and loop around many times before exiting the region. A full grown male or female bigfoot can easily push a tree across a road and block a vehicle and most are quite aware of this fact. In the unlikely scenario that you make it back to civilization with part of a body, the government will quickly hear about the situation and confiscate what you have brought back. Word of mouth travels quicker in our modern technological society than you might imagine.

--How do you know so much about this? What are your credentials? I am friend with two of the most prominent bigfoot researchers in the world and have camped over 200 times in hotspots over the course of the last six years. I also have a master's degree from NYU. I am quite sane and in earnest about this matter.
This posting is NOT A JOKE.

Not as badly duped as the evolution believers were with Piltdown Man. That hoax lasted more than 40 years without any real scientific scrutiny of the evidence. They just blindly accepted it as 'proof' of their theory. Proves how science invents evidence to prove it's theory of evolution.

Science Skeptic (new window)

Just like Democrats will believe anything told about Republicans.
