by ezdate123 August 19, 2008 8:17 PM PDT: Like I said before....When I heard they put "bigfoot" in their freezer I knew it was a hoax... But I do give them credit for being creative to attract attention......This may cost them though in the long run but with the topic of bigfoot I guess you have to keep creating a buzz......Mike

The only bigger hoax is this entire article.

The world is not 'stunned' and lives were not 'disrupted'

I think the bulk of us were suitably skeptical and this played out pretty much as we collectively expected.

The reason the police officer participated in a fraud is to let people know that they should be very careful about trusting ANYONE. Too many times he's seen innocents taken advantage of. It's his way of saying, "Smarten up!"

I think the real lesson learned is not to trust the police.

by William Crow August 20, 2008 7:22 AM PDT: Just how big are his feet anyway? Isn't the term "big" subjective? Maybe he's really "medium sized foot."
So maybe as the monster hunters were out in the woods looking for him, yelling "Bigfoot!', expecting him to come to them...if they had been yelling "medium Sized Foot", they might have found him long ago.; Like this Reply to this comment
