Comments on: Bigfoot site stuns the world: It was a hoax

Outside observers discover that the alleged cadaver was merely a gorilla costume. The rubber foot was a dead giveaway.

@knucklehead: I dunno, did anyone believe in okapi before they were found in Africa? Yeah, this was a hoax and a pretty obvious one from the beginning, but man is still discovering new species all the time. So who knows.

If you believe in something that doesn't exist, your only going to be disappointing when someone tells you they have it.

Yeah, kind of expected it with Georgia. So... is CNET's story about a woman from Alabama suing Apple over poor 3G reception also a hoax? Maybe the string on her can frayed?

Two points of contention:
1. The first thing that tips you off it's a hoax is that they didn't follow proper police protocol. Anything that looks remotely like a human is automatically brought to the attention of emergency services. Just because the main perpetrator was a police officer does not exclude him from that. A local forensic pathologist would have at least confirmed first that it was not human.

2. They took $50K from a group in California to promote their 'find' fraudulently. Defrauding anyone of their money is a crime. If they are guilty of fraud they should go to jail. A police officer should know better.

No resonable thinking human being could have possibly beleived this farce from the begining, file this with the other trash like the Loch Ness Monster, Flying Saucers, Ghosts and yes, Bigfoot.

Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
