Bigfoot body

There's been a lot of commotion lately after some alleged pictures of a dead bigfoot surfaced in the internet. Read the CNN article here. Supposedly, some dubious characters, one of them a police officer, claim to have found a dead bigfoot in Georgia. They are holding a press conference this Friday (Aug. 15) at noon PST to display more photos and present DNA analysis. However, there are many reasons to think this is just another hoax.

If it is a hoax, I wonder how they'll get themselves out of the hole they've dug. After all, they'll have to explain why they were unable to display the body to the general public, or at least to some reputable scientists. My guess is that they'll either claim 1) they sold it to an anonymous buyer, 2) it was stolen or lost in transport, or 3) they selflessly destroyed it in order to protect bigfoot from being exploited.

I've had the misfortune of seeing the videos these guys posted on You Tube, and they seem like a couple of half-wits to me. I'd hate to live in a community where someone like that is a police officer and has authority over other people. If the bigfoot is real and they've discovered it, it is sad that fortune smiled on these guys and not someone more deserving (or someone who would handle the situation with more dignity, reservation, and intelligence).

We wait just a few more hours to see how this whole thing plays out.
