Generally the slowest news month of the year, August 2008 will go down in history as … the slowest news month of the year where animal-related stunts took over the headlines. There's already the Montauk Monster's coverage by the big boys. Now, some "Bigfoot Hunters" (SRSLY, check their RSMES) claim they've found the elusive beast, and dragged one of its dead corpses to a freezer, where they're going to conduct all sort of genetic testing while, presumably, posing for Abu Ghraib-style photos with it. When the Times got wind of it, they were like, "O RLY?," and decided to cover the story. But some "Bigfoot Researches" (like Bigfoot Hunters, not a real job) say what they've seen "just looks like a costume with some fake guts thrown on top for effect." For what it's worth, under normal circumstances we might be inclined to believe the hunters here, while keeping in the back of our minds that this is, most likely, almost certainly, a hoax. But in today's age? There's no way these guys are getting one iota of our respect, because every time we start believing in something magical, it turns out to be a viral marketing stunt for a shitty movie.
