With all due respect to JerryWayne’s analysis of the topic, spinning the fiasco as a “Punking” doesn’t justify the behavior or the events surrounding the hoax.

Both the fraud AND those who perpetrated it ARE juvenile-minded morons who think that playing April Fool’s “pranks” are acceptable under any circumstances.

They aren’t.

Originally I thought the Georgia boys created their hoax to discredit cryptozoology and well-known bigfoot advocates. Since I’m in my fifties, I didn’t realize what was really up.

These guys were merely PUNKING us. PUNKING is pranking and is popular with a younger demographic, a demographic that watches television shows such as PUNKED and JACKASS. In such shows, pranks and stunts are performed and are carried out to the very end, no matter how upsetting the pranks are to those being pranked, or no matter how dangerous the stunts may be. The important thing is not to hesitate in the prank or stunt, but to ride it through to its conclusion, no matter what.

Some in the bigfoot community bought into the Georgia bigfoot hoax because the hoaxers carried their hoax as far as it could possibly go, right up to a news conference and beyond. Certainly your average hoaxer would not go that far, would they? So there must be something to it, right? Well, no, we know now.

These guys are not as nefarious as made out to be. They are just some guys doing some silly guy things inspired by uninspiring television.

Folks, to understand this hoax we need to know this: we were PUNKED!

Just for the heck of it, I took a look at the bf hunter website to see if it was still active. Apparently they’ve reformatted it to promote their TRUE identities as SUPER DELUXE TOTALLY AWESOME HOAX HUNTERS. Since cracking the “Bigfoot is a fraud” case wide open (?) they’re next tackling some supposed haunted house in Georgia (??) and have “several” DVD’s available as well as a cable show in the works (?!?). And yes, as to be expected, typos and misspellings abound, as well as plentiful evidence of their lack of education, tact, and good will.

Cue facepalm.

Personally, I think that, as soon as Biscardi got involved in this, everyone and his little dog’s uncle should have called “BS”; and, by the looks of it, just about everyone here did. I can just imagine a conversation between Biscardi and Bigfoot, though…

Foot: Uh, excuse me?

TB The BS-King: What?

Foot: I just couldn’t miss that costume in a freezer you have there.

TB: Not a costume. Bless it’s heart, it’s a BigFeet!

Foot: No, I’m Bigfoot. That’s a costume. You can still see the Wal-Mart tag on its hand.

TB: Oh- oh yeah? Well… You’re not a true Bigfoot!

Foot: *Back-hands*

No offense to your fine quote, Loren, or the others before it, but I believe the #1 response has to be Tom Biscardi’s #5: “Be still my heart, I felt bad for the poor thing. After being in the industry for the past 30 years, I wondered: Was it diseased? Did it die of old age?”. In my humble opinion — it is just an opinion — this man is a FOOL.

Considering this was a farce, it’s truly amazing how much mileage the perps have gotten out of it — and continues to get.

#6 is quite funny. I myself never thought that Biscardi was a true human being.

That last shot is priceless squeezed between those two quotes. The only thing that would make it better is a caption that reads “This little piggie got none…”
