Description
They gave a description of the body saying it had a height of eight feet, eight inches, and the fact that, if you were to shave the creature and put a hat on it, you would not be able to distinguish it from a human being. Soon, California promoter Tom Biscardi was involved, and the event took a heightened level in which millions of dollars for the body were discussed. Despite the fact Cryptomundo readers had identified the costume being used, and others at other sites had too, when a photograph of the complete ?body? became available on August 12th, the online and news frenzy continued. Biscardi promised a news conference three days later, and members of the media thought they were going to see the body of a Bigfoot.The ultimate media circus (dubbed ?Bigfoot Friday?) took place on August 15th, when CNN live streamed a news gathering involving 100 news reporters and 38 camera feeds from California. Besides a blobsquatch image of something in the woods and a blurry photo of the tongue of something, no body was shown, no carcass was placed on exhibit, and the media walked away feeling tricked.But concurrently, the body was being sold to an Indiana construction company owner, who agreed to ?loan? Biscardi $50,000 for the body frozen in an ice chest. The ?body? was taken to Indiana, unthawed, and by August 19th and 20th, most media outlets had reported that a rubber costume had been discovered under the ice.Although the media had helped create the Bigfoot frenzy, they would walk away swearing they had been duped by a hoax. Serious Bigfoot researchers had warned this was a hoax early on, but those cautions were forgotten in the wake of this fiasco. The timeline and quotations from this disaster speak for themselves.How big was this story for 2008 in the mainstream media? Well, it was listed on several year-end lists, from Time to Mad Magazine?s list of ?20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things 2008.?Info from: http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/top10cz08/ (This creation belongs to me Jonathanrex1. If you see it anywhere else it?s stolen.)
