So its all over the news (not really but was on the front of CNN for a while) about the 2 guys that claim to have found the corpse of a bigfoot.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/08/15/bigfoot.body/index.html

Looks like a costume and 10lb of bacon to me...what do you think..

    I caught the tail end of it on the news ... did they send a chunk in for DNA analysis?

    That`s nothing like the one that lives at the bottom of my garden. It is a hoax for sure, there are many things wrong with the story, even if it is verified by a policeman ( they lie all the time so are hardly reliable witnesses ), it IS as stated by beanz, a costume.

    It's very probably a hoax, this page gives some very good reasons as to why:

    http://bfro.net/hoax.asp

    Carmine Thomas Biscardi, the guy involved in this, has been perpetrating bigfoot hoaxes for years. In 2005 he perpetrated a similar bigfoot body hoax on a nationally syndicated radio show. He confessed to the hoax on the air when pressed by the irate talk show host, George Noory.

    Check out the "body" in the freezer, it's incredibly similar to this Bigfoot costume available to buy online for $500: http://www.makeupandmonsters.com/FAKE_Bigfoot_stories.htm

    Wikipedia reports that its DNA was a mix of human and opossum! My head is whirling around with how that was possible!

    Its always possible that the costume designers, by coincidence, got the costume design exactly like the real thing. :grin:

    In my opinion, it is just a cynical attempt to part fools from their money, if you look at the people involved, they are buffoons, who you would not believe if they told you that the world was round. It is money, money, money, that is talking and the body will soon be walking, they will cry cover-up, conspiracy, etc, but they will make a packet from the following media frenzy and would be Bigfoot hunter holidays. I am all for practical jokes and innocent hoaxes, but this one is aimed much higher.

    Alien U.F.O's, ghosts, mythical/legendary monsters etc

    if any of them really existed, then by now, someone would take some DECENT FUCKING MOVING IMAGES OF THEM, IN FOCUS, AND HOLD THE FUCKING CAMERA STEADY. IMHO.

    Well, I'm reliably informed there is vast areas of wilderness in Georgia.

    One guy in Oregon was telling me of his encounter with one when it bust into his log cabin.

    I wish all these scientists who don't know their arse from their elbow would stop dismissing everything before they've even had a look. I've noticed that things that don't fit into establish chronology or thougt, the evidence often goes missing.

    Them damn scientists!

    well, the DNA tested proved to be human for one sample, 96% certainty of possum for the other sample.........I guess it gets lonely in the outback ;-)

    Well they would say that. They don't want to have to rewrite the books. See Piltdown skull.

    Wasn't Piltdown Man a hoax?

    Or was that Tollund Man?

    This is most definitely a hoax. A well known hoaxer was involved. If any of you are ever interested in Bigfoot this is the best place to find out if things are a hoax or not http://www.bigfootforums.com/ . They analyse every bit of evidence to death. Anyway, this one is not even a very good hoax. I have seen much better.

    Yes, and even though they knew it was a hoax, they kept it secret for 50 years to avoid looking stupid.

    So, nowadays they deny everything first off.

    See.

    1. Everything in Wikipedia is not true
    2. Logic always fails if you extend it far enough
    3. Scientists are a closed shop

    Yep, it's a hoax: On Thomas Biscardi's site at http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com/

    "What I seen, what I touched....what I felt, I prodded, was not.....uh...uh..a mask that was sewn on a bear hide, OK? What I smelled also"

    - Tom Biscardi, owner of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. (searchingforbigfoot.com), at his news conference on Friday, August 15, 2008

    =======================

    "At this time the victim of this series of deceptions, Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., is seeking justice for themselves and for all the people who were deceived by this deception."

    Bigfoot update:

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/skynews/20080819/twl-hoaxed-bigfoot-is-made-of-rubber-3fd0ae9.html

    It's a hoax!

    And it seems like the two hillbillys weren't so dumb after all. According to the news story above they took off with Biscardi's money! :D

    Nice.

    Heh, remember the Simpsons episode where Homer gets mistaken for Bigfoot. That was entertainment alright.

    how can it be a hoax? bigfoot isn't real, they are just confirming this.

    I'm surprised this made national headlines. Sounds like something you'd see in the Weekly World News. A couple of rednecks finding a real Bigfoot carcass indeed! :roll:

    Can't say that I'm surprised that they weren't telling the truth.

    maybe in the 80's (or 90's) when harry the hendersons was still a popular film, it would have made more sense.

    in other american related news bollox. some news stations in the states have decided to change the olympic medals table to tally it on the total number rather than golds won, so america comes on the top.

    In fact the hoax looks like bigfoot from the film, perhaps it's the same costume.
