Mangy Fraggle?

scottydoesntknow		2012-11-20 10:20:47 AM

Ewww. It looks like a rabbit had sex with that creepy root thing from Pan's Labyrinth

Oh come on, Muppets are cute and fuzzy, it can't possibly be...

Good thing we killed it. farking thing had it coming. Foraging for food, protecting it's home.

Sybarite		2012-11-20 10:32:30 AM

It's time to close the curtains
And just turn off the lights
Don't want to meet that Muppet on the Muppet Show tonight

I was going to say the same thing. WTF?

/What is that?

Ever see Watership Down?

TROOOOLLLL!!

CapeFearCadaver		2012-11-20 11:11:05 AM

UberDave: TROOOOLLLL!!

It does look humanoid. If it were only one (assuming TFA is real) I'd think it was a deformed kid from a villager who sent it off into the woods to fend for itself. There being three others...

Seriously, WTF?

Indolent		2012-11-20 11:50:25 AM

That's the ugliest streetlight I've ever seen.

Holy shiat, I was just thinking that, actually...

Also: notice how the pic is blurry? It almost makes it look like Bigfoot's illegitimate offspring.

whistleridge		2012-11-20 12:26:46 PM

Sorry, I don't buy it.

These days, everyone has cell phones with functional cameras on them. I just got back from 2 years in the deep African bush, and even little kids out in the middle of nowhere had Chinese knockoffs of good phone brands. If this is the best photo they can produce, I'm going to call 'hoax'.

At least they killed it. God forbid an innocent life form should, you know, live.

spunkymunky		2012-11-20 01:00:24 PM

Looks kind of like a prom night dumpster baby.

WhippingBoy		2012-11-20 01:00:56 PM

But what does it taste like???

tommyl66		2012-11-20 01:00:57 PM

Mr. Peepers, no!

semiotix		2012-11-20 01:01:19 PM

Hmm. Not a traditional Muppet, but I can see a sort of Jim Henson Company influence there. You could put that in the background of The Dark Crystal and it would blend in pretty well.

Beyond that, I have no comment on the story. I'm a Muppetologist, not a cryptozoologist.

I can tell you don't have no children. Maybe one day you'll learn... the pride... the love... when you know your boy will do anything for his mother.

swahnhennessy		2012-11-20 01:05:26 PM

They shot that photoshop dead.

SkylineRecords		2012-11-20 01:06:04 PM

It probably evolved from the Montauk Monster, which, of course, is a descendant of Sasquatch,

Peacock?

Because I was thinking chupacabra.

taglius		2012-11-20 01:06:52 PM

glad they killed it, but not enough fire used.

namegoeshere		2012-11-20 01:07:05 PM

Extra bonus points to the farker of strong enough constitution to google birth defects to find out what that looks like. Because that looks like a badly formed babby that someone wanted to make go bye bye, and the other similar creatures and the "Commin' right at us!" might just be bullshiat.

Archimedes' Principal		2012-11-20 01:07:17 PM

So, they had the presence of mind to 'photograph' the one, but 'forgot' to photograph the 3 others they found in a lair?

/ something something...pixels.

puckheaven		2012-11-20 01:07:24 PM

Why do we have to kill everything we don't understand. Just stop, really.

Ahh, the Peacock family.

This is deputy Frank.
Barney?
No!

Let me guess...

What the fark are you talking about? You better pray I never find out where you live.

That's not a muppet, it's a Mogwai.

sporkme		2012-11-20 01:09:06 PM

obscure?

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom		2012-11-20 01:09:42 PM

Did some research on the photo, apparently it's been making the rounds for a few years.

It's apparently real, though not of an unknown creature. It's a human infant with arcania. Sad.

Aces and Eights		2012-11-20 01:09:44 PM

Sooo...it has a human body, human face and ears, plus long rabbit ears. And it's dead but looking at the camera. OK. New species.
Quick! Shouldn't somebody document this somewhere??

traylor		2012-11-20 01:10:00 PM

Rabies.

That was my thought. If it was actually somewhat true, however...

I used to be that way as a kid. Learned quite a bit about nature that way. Probably not the best way.

IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT, PENIS BREATH!

Or, perhaps, a human hobbit? Are there some crazy Isle of Dr. Moreau DNA splicers out there?

DjangoStonereaver		2012-11-20 01:11:38 PM

For the life of me, I thought the headline said "Shot in NAMBLA", and wondered why it got greenlit before
the general story about Kevin Clash's latest troubles.
