Press Conference: Bigfoot Carcass Found!

The media officially has dual case Phelps fatigue and monster madness, with the thorough coverage of the “discovery” of a “Georgia Gorilla,” known as Sasquatch, or Bigfoot.

Evidence of a wooly corpse will be presented just 90 minutes from now at a hotel in Palo Alto, CA. Note the word “evidence.” The gorilla hunters will present photographic and DNA evidence, not the actual body in the meat cooler, described colorfully by Crunchgear: “looks like a F-ing carpet thrown into a bath tub with a Chewbacca mask on top.”

We so wish this was a viral stunt for beef jerky, or for the next Tenacious D movie. Alas, its for a couple of hunters known as Searching for Bigfoot Inc.

The entire mainstream media jumped on this one, including CNN and the Times, with the scoop credited to LiveScience.
