who is talk show host?

Some cute blond girl who's career is now riding on whether or not this is really big foot or if it's a fake.

[GoSkins561]

By "those guys" you mean logical?

There is nothing illogical about looking at the pics comparing them and thinking this is real and hoping the press conference reveals, one of the many bigfoots that roam our great country.

Be prepared for Bigfoot mania.

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say that's definitely fake.

Looks like something somebody made to me.

It looks like a dead big foot crammed into a freezer, nothing more, nothing less.

The Bigfoot hunter from VA who was on Elliot this morning was cautiously optimistic that this could be the real deal.

I am waiting until after the press conference.

:laugh:

I'll save everyone the suspense. No way this is real.

Wouldn't you kind of have to be if you've dedicated your life to hunting something that doesn't exist?

Another one of those guys, raining on all Bigfoot hunters across Americas parade.

I am sure you can find websites about it. This guy was a real gem.

LMAO I can't tell if you're serious or are joking.

I really think it looks fake though.

I think your one of the few, like myself who is really hoping this is real.

[GoSkins561]

I am thinking there is a chance it could be real.

Look at the f-ing things hands, they look real. If that is a ape suit, they did a great job of making it look like bigfoot.

I don't really think it looks that real but it'd be awesome if it were . . .

I will say I've seen more "real" looking creatures in budget hollywood flicks.

Maybe that's the problem, they look to real and this is what they really look like.

They better have the press conference or I am going to be pissed.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Watch it all turn out to be a publicity stunt... :mad:

[Gracelander]

I can see the tearful press conference now..

"I know I can hide but I don't think I want to," Sasquatch said, choking with emotion in a news conference. "It's been a great career for me, but it's over. I hope that with every penny they've spent searching for me, they know it was money well spent"

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Instead of going to Mexico to see "Donkey Shows", you can just go to Georgia and watch "Bigfoot Shows" :laugh:

Hoax according to the BFRO message board:

http://s2.excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=124725&threadid=1900226

"It all started with a web site by two guys in Georgia calling themselves the "Georgia Bigfoot Trackers." These guys came out of nowhere and put up a web site wherein they claimed to be the "best bigfoot trackers in the world". They obviously hadn't been following the subject for long, because, for example, they had never heard of Jeff Meldrum ... the prominent expert who had appeared on numerous TV shows talking about the subject.

It was strange.

In the beginning they did not claim to have a body. In fact, they made it clear that they had nothing, but they said they would try to capture one.

They put out clownish YouTube videos offering to take people on bigfoot expeditions, which they heard were popular. They later admitted that they never took anyone on an expedition. Their YouTube videos were so foolish that many wondered whether these videos were intended as a joke ... but they weren't. These guys wanted to be taken seriously, and they wanted people to pay them $499 to attend their expeditions in Georgia. It was a petty scam.

In one YouTube video (which they later removed from YouTube) Whitton was shown standing on a branch in a tree holding a rope demonstrating how he planned to lasso a bigfoot ...

A week later Whitton was in the local TV news around Atlanta ... He had shot himself in the wrist with his own weapon while pursuing a suspect.

This strange clown Whitton was indeed a Clayton County sheriff deputy.

Various legitimate bigfoot researchers were appalled by the whole situation and challenged these two guys about their claims. One researcher pointed out that they didn't have any evidence of anything. The researcher facetiously asked Dyer by phone "So do you have corpse or something?"

That gave the Georgia boys an idea.

After that conversation these Georgia boys started claiming that they had a bigfoot body ... As they touted this new claim they noticed that some people were quick to believe them, or at least hold out lots of hope. The hopeful reaction led the Georgia boys to change tactics all together. Their whole game changed from bogus claims of expeditions to bogus claims of having a "bigfoot body".

While recovering at home from his self-inflicted gunshot wound Whitton was visited by family members. One family member was his brother from Texas -- Martin Whitton. Matthew Whitton, the sheriff, coached his brother to pose as a scientist from Texas who came to Georgia to examine the "body".

Within a day or so of releasing the video on YouTube showing this "scientist" ... he was outed as Whitton's own brother. Subsequently Matthew Gary Whitton (the sheriff deputy) was forced to admit (on YouTube) that he lied about the "scientist".

Here's the YouTube video wherein Whitton lied about the scientist. Keep in mind, this is a Georgia sheriff deputy (Clayton County) blatantly lying on camera in furtherance of a hoax -- a hoax which may also qualify as criminal fraud: Whitton introduces the fake scientist

Once this fraud was exposed, Whitton admitted to lying about "Dr. Van Burren", but then he continued with his bogus claim about having a "bigfoot corpse": Sheriff admits to lying

Then it got even weirder.

A week or so after Whitton was mentioned in local news broadcasts around Atlanta because of his gunshot wound, various small newspapers around Georgia caught on to BigfootTrackers story, and their claims of having a bigfoot body. A few articles appeared in small papers in Georgia, and the online bigfoot community was watching in distress.

Then renowned bigfoot hoaxer Carmine Thomas Biscardi entered the picture.

Biscardi often chases the media spotlight in the style of Reverend Al Sharpton when a bigfoot-related story starts grabbing headlines

Media publicity had eluded Biscardi in recent years, after his bogus claims stopped getting him easy press attention. He had stooped to hiring PR writers to write glorifying stories about him, then directing those writers to pose as freelance journalists and submit those stories to newspapers.

Biscardi had previously perpetrated a bigfoot body hoax in 2005 on George Noory's "Coast to Coast AM" ("C2C") radio talk show.

C2C is broadcast in the middle of the night across the US and Canada. It has an audience of roughly 15 million people. Many, many people who work the graveyard shift on lonely jobs listen to George Noory's nightly AM radio talk show about all things paranormal.

During this radio hoax Biscardi claimed to have a bigfoot body. He held the massive C2C radio audience in suspense for a few nights, offering updates on "his team's" progress with a bigfoot body, all while encouraging the audience to subscribe (for $14.95 per month) to his remote web cam, where they might possibly spot another bigfoot at a location in Northern California ...

In other words, it was a scam.

Talk show host George Noory eventually smelled the hoax and demanded that Biscardi show his evidence or come clean.

Then Biscardi confessed, on the radio. There was no bigfoot body. His excuses and finger pointing fell on deaf ears. Noory was fuming. He demanded that Biscardi refund all the money to all the people who signed up for the pay-per-view "surveillance" project.

This extraordinary radio hoax, and Biscardi's subsequent confession, were heard by millions of people across North America. The affair had curious parallels with the Orson Wells' "War of the Worlds" hoax in 1938, which held radio audiences in suspense and created a minor panic in New Jersey.

That hoax made Orson Wells a lot more famous.

Once Biscardi got involved in the Georgia body scam, he bumped it up to a new level of media manipulation. Biscardi began scheming to get lots of TV cameras in his face before it was obvious to news directors that it was just another hoax like the one he pulled before on the radio.

Biscardi's big hook for the media was that Whitton is (or was) a sheriff deputy. The media had no idea that Whitton was a ludicrous liar. They would assume he was legit simply because he is (or was) a law enforcement officer.

For more details on how this ball bounced after that point, please wade through the rest of this thread. Notice that there is more than one page to this thread. At the bottom right corner of this page look for the "Page 1, 2,3" and click 2, etc., to see the next pages of replies."

More to come in a moment...

"I learned yesterday that Dyer and Whitton ALREADY tried to have a press conference outside Atlanta. They were able to get three major TV networks (at minimum) to their front lawn: CBS, ABC and NBC -- the Atlanta affiliates of those networks.

All of those networks (and possibly more) showed up and interviewed Whitton. Whitton told them a long bogus story ... but he showed them nothing ... no photos, no videos, etc.

All of those networks individually decided to not air the story ... because there is no bigfoot body. There's just a bogus story.

The news director at CBS was the most vocal about it. He says these guys are obviously liars playing some kind of game. He said he "wishes the story would have been true, but it is obvious that it's not."

Three major networks each sent a small crew to the Bigfoottrackers first attempt at a press conference ... and it was, not surprisingly, a frustrating waste of their time and money ... as it will be for any future crews who waste time on them.

Several investigators in the BFRO are law enforcement officers and they say there's no way that Whitton will avoid being fired for all of this. Afterall, that's why this is getting so much attention ... because Whitton is (or was) a sheriff deputy. If he is still a deputy at this point, they say he won't be for much longer.

If Biscardi holds a press conference, he will not show a bigfoot body either (at least not a real one). He'll show photos of a fake dead bigfoot, and he might hold up what he claims is a "DNA sample".

Biscardi is the type of megalomaniac who thinks there's no such thing as bad publicity. That's the logic of a hoaxer. The media deals with people like this periodically -- people who will do anything to be on television and get press attention, regardless of whether its good or bad attention. He demonstrated that with his big "Coast-2-Coast" radio hoax in 2005, where he claimed to have a bigfoot body, and then later admitted that he did not. He had no shame about it. The Coast2Coast hoax got his name out there, which is what he wanted."

LMAO sorry GoSkins - maybe one day.
