Big Surprise - Big Foot a Hoax.

BIG SURPRISE! The big foot found a few weeks ago turned out to be a big hoax. These idiots basically took a monkey suit and froze it.

Researches thawed the "body" and discovered it was a monkey suit. The guys who made the claim have since disappeared.

It almost seemed credible - a police officer and a former prison warden had claimed to have found the body and also claimed to have witnessed more of the creatures. A press conference was setup and DNA and photo evidence was supposed to be supplied along with the body.

The conference came and went with only a photo and unsubstantial DNA evidence that turned out to be human and other DNA that belonged to a possum, making the whole story sound fabricated.

As it turns out - it was. Just a stupid hoax to try and generate web traffic.

UPDATE: The men have resurfaced and have been stating that the whole thing was just a joke. The police officer has since been fired.

"All this was a big joke. It got into something way bigger than it was supposed to be," said former police officer Matt Whitton.

Whitton and Dyer said "bigfoot" was a Sasquatch costume they bought off the web and filled with possum road kill and slaughterhouse leftovers.
