Just saw this on Inside Edition.

Looks like a gorilla costume u can get at a Halloween store.

[topgame85]

Wow looks like the real deal maybe

[topgame85]

haha what if it is a human body in a costume somebody might be in big trouble

[element1286]

I don't know about this one, but once they do some tests on it, I guess it will either be authenticated or shown as a hoax.

[HAPPY BOY]

Whew I thought it was Big Foot from The Howard stern Show.

[Teela]

The DNA tests were "inconclusive."

HUGE surprise.

What will companies do now with the commercials he was in?

I was thinking the same thing. It's got to be bullsh1t.

[robmpink]

It looked like the bigfoot used Crest White Strips.

Is the press conference on Youtube yet? They were supposed to reveal the DNA evidence today.

[Teela]

I'm not sure about the youtube video, but here's a link to a news article about the press conference:

If anyone ever really killed Bigfoot, I would have my lawyer sister file murder charges on my behalf.

[gordon gekko]

Seems like BS.

[seaborneq]

why is bigfoot only spotted in rural areas, by rednecks, at night, in the forest? Why can't he be in New York City, on Wall Street, during lunch hour, hailing a cab? That would be more believable.

Obviously because when people see him they shoot him. Out in the forest=less of a chance to be seen. And only rednecks are out in rural areas, at night, in the forest

[topgame85]

So easy a bigfoot could do it! That was geicos original commercial but bigfoot tried to file defamation suit against Geico so they had the geko wack him and dump him in the woods don't fvck with insurance companies!

[badhunter]

I'm a hunter and will say this is bullshit. After a hunter shoots a deer, bear, elk, whatever, you hang it up, not stuff the shit in a box. Show me a photo of the alleged dead Big Foot hanging from a basketball hoop or something.

[topgame85]

I don't think they killed it they said they found it dead

[Robyn]

Wow, so if this colony of "big foot" like creatures exist in the woods...nobody has ever come across the bones of such a thing?

I hope to one day run into a real live centaur.

Robyn, it was a hairy creature. I thought you left that thing in Michigan?

They bury their dead, the hunters just so happened to come upon the body before it could be buried.

You skeptics need to stop. The proof is here now

[Bread]

I just like the fact that the title of this thread has a face and a RIP Bigfoot. Hilarious.

[Teela]

It's very sad news. I was hoping that the colony could repopulate Georgia and move toward the coast so that one could be my neighbor. We could hang out together in the swamp with the 20 foot alligators.

[Robyn]

I think that we have a lot to learn from Big Foot. They know how to use tools. They respect their dead. They have an uncanny ability to camouflage themselves in heavily wooded areas.

Do they live in trees? Or do they roam like buffalo? I am very curious. HEP!

[wtt0315]

good thing i am moving from georgia to daytona next week. next we will have pavys offsprings running free in the woods

[Teela]

I think that he got shanked. It was obviously a turf war.

[sickler]

Just another way for fraudsters to make a quick buck. The guy won't let independent experts examine the body, but he'll film the "russian experts" doing the equivalent of the famous "alien autopsy". How much money was made from that one?

[pavyracer]

I saw the Bigfoot on local news. It's the real thing guys. It's not a costume. Looks like a cross between Patrick Ewing and Willie B. of Atlanta zoo.

We got another believer. There is a picture on the internet, what else do you all need?

[Teela]

If it's on the internet, it must be true

Bigfoot claim a bust

Bigfoot remains as elusive as ever.

Results from tests on genetic material from alleged remains of one of the mythical half-ape and half-human creatures, made public at a news conference on Friday held after the claimed discovery swept the Internet, failed to prove its existence.

Its spread was fueled by a photograph of a hairy heap, bearing a close resemblance to a shaggy full-body gorilla costume, stuffed into a container resembling a refrigerator.

One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 percent from an opossum, according to Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the DNA analysis.

Bigfoot creatures are said to live in the forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. An opossum is a marsupial about the size of a house cat.

Results of the DNA tests were revealed in an e-mail from Nelson and distributed at the Palo Alto, California, news conference held by Tom Biscardi, host of a weekly online radio show about the Bigfoot.

Also present were Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two who say they discovered the Bigfoot corpse while hiking in the woods of northern Georgia. They also are co-owners of a company that offers Bigfoot merchandise.

Despite the dubious photo and the commercial interests of the alleged discoverers, the Bigfoot claim drew interest from Australia to Europe and even The New York Times.

Biscardi said the DNA samples may not have been taken correctly and may have been contaminated, and that he would proceed with an autopsy of the alleged Bigfoot remains, currently in a freezer at an undisclosed location.

i read this just a little while ago, seems they sent some "alleged" DNA to some scientist and the 3 samples came back, human, possum, and the 3rd couldn't be verified because of equipment malfunction.

i call bull-shit.

[jtuck]

Dont ruin it Crazy. They haven't given up hope yet.
