Speaking of Georgia, I found this quite amusing:

Title: Re: Donkey Kong Found In Freezer!
Post by: TOK on August 17, 2008, 06:56:46 am: Sounds like BS to me... They wouldn't disclose where the "body" was and the DNA results were inconclusive. I think one sample was untestable, one was human and the other was opossum.

Big load of crap. One of the guys was involved in another bigfoot hoax a few years back.

Hmmm, how about an arcade made from a dead bigfoot?

Title: Re: Donkey Kong Found In Freezer!
Post by: ChadTower on August 18, 2008, 08:18:35 am: So, erm... if they got human DNA off that thing... doesn't that mean they have a dead person in that freezer? Shouldn't that be news?

I understand that one of the guys was previously involved in a hoax? If that's the case, credibility is automatically gone IMO.

Post by: shardian on August 18, 2008, 01:02:42 pm: It is just a publicity stunt. Make note of the fact that the guys who found the dead body also run a "Big Foot Adventure" hike. They made a phony picture, and submitted generic blood samples. Now, they can tell all of their new conspiracy nut clients that 'big brother' lied about the dna samples to avoid scaring the public, and that they still have the dead body 'in a safe, secure location'.

Wonder how much those dudes got $$$$
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Found In Freezer!
Post by: TOK on August 21, 2008, 05:59:15 am: The one dude is a cop and looks like he may lose his job over this. Since at least one of these guys seemed to want to be taken seriously and make a living out of this, I can't imagine WTF they were thinking to pull off such a crappy hoax. There isn't much credibility in the area of research they're in, and they've damaged it even further.

I don't believe there is a Bigfoot, but the notion that something mysterious like that is out there is kind of cool.

"Who are we to say it's not real", said the FOX NEWS reporter. I guess reporting news means just repeating whatever the shills want you to.

This is EXACTLY right. This whole incident is really a demonstration of just how bad it's gotten.

Our corporate owned media establishments have no interest in journalism; merely ratings. Our local Fox branch ran the "Bigfoot" story, after first talking it up throughout the day, then showing that single, stupid-looking photo and saying, "Well, what do YOU think it is? Is Bigfoot real?"

I was like, "Hey A-hole...I don't know. I work for living and I don't have entire teams of potential investigative reporters, and the funding of a giant corporate entity, at my fingertips. How 'bout YOU send someone out to examine the thing, then you REPORT what you FIND!?"

Not to pull this into PnR', but damn...this penchant for "We Pontificate, You decide!" has destroyed our fourth estate, and it doesn't serve the public. It's pablum...and they do it for just about everything.

Post by: mameotron on August 22, 2008, 02:22:13 am: I think we all saw this coming, but I'm with Mr. C. There's no such thing as news anymore, it's all just sensationalism.
