Everything's too well planned, definately a hoax.

It's like when My Cousin Vinny came into court with this elaborate objection & the judge shot him down because he could tell it was rehearsed.

Almost scary. First thing I noticed was

Tom Biscardi is a total basket case.

Besides he was already on Fox on 7/1/08

It's about as fake as the Loch Ness Monster. I'd have been convinced even more so if this was announced at the beginning of the summer so as to encourage more tourists to the area.

Without the Loch Ness Monster "is it real" sort of situation i don't imagine a number of people wouldn't have bothered looking at Scotland as an ideal holiday destination despite it's beautiful scenery.

Is this the same thing that is feature in this fox news article? I can't get your link to load for some reason and I'm to lazy to figure out why it won't. The fox enws article doesn't seem too excited about it like they would if it was the real deal, so I think it is a hoax.

hooooooax. They always are.

and you're probably right about Scotland, SB - though I think if people really knew how beautiful it was they would be more than interested to visit.... all the castles and all the stunning landscapes.... doesn't take Nessie to make it worthwhile :D (too bad it rains all the time though, eh?)

EDIT: here's a thought, incidentally - does everybody vote 'hoax' because we all mean it, or is it because we all inherently feel it's cooler to err on the side of jadedness? Know what I mean? It's far more socially survivable to say something is a hoax and then have it turn out to be real, than to gullibly believe something is real and then have it turn out to be a hoax.... Cynical Society...

I think its a hoax mostly because big foot is suppose to be big, and in the pics it looks like they've got him stuffed into a cooler like they are taking him to a tailgate party or something.

That's an interesting idea.

I think it would be safer to err of the side of believing it's true and later finding out it's a hoax, thinking of "The boy who cried wolf".

I think it's a hoax because there seems to be alot of scheduled media attention around it. When you discover something like that you tell the world, ASAP. the only reasoning you could have for stinging everyone along with bits and pieces on a schedule is if it was hard to create the fake evidence. If it was real, they'd realize it would be easy to go out and find another one rather quick.

Precisely. Kind of like the Blairwitch project advertising campaign. I could never understand how people managed to believe that was real.......
