Bigfooters covered by Vanity Fair Magazine

Does anyone think we should change this thread title, or start a new thread titled "Media coverage of Bigfootry"?

I don't want to start a new thread about each media blurb, and this thread has steered towards general media coverage of Footry.
 
Agreed. Either just changing the thread title or starting a new one and reporting the OP with a request for a merge to this.

I would just call it "Bigfoot in the Media", but that is just because I think "Bigfootry" is @$$. ;)

I believe I check-mated you on the Bigfootry vs. Bigfootery, just before you disappeared. If you remember where that exchange was, go back and find it. CHECKMATE baby.
 
I found Bigfootery Enquirer a couple months ago and initially thought it was a great Bigfoot skepticism blog. But more reading revealed that it is some Bigfooter ragging on other Bigfooters and their associations. A believer climbs on their own soapbox and talks about how other believers are messed up or are full of crap.

Yes, I see that I used Bigfootery to describe the Bigfootery Enquirer, however, I think that my intent was to use Bigfootry in the description and use Bigfootery in the title.

Intent - inshment. It is not what you intended to do - it's only the results that matter.

50 lashes with a wet noodle! :D

Mission: Impossible.

C'mon, Rock. We want to here some screams, but the illusion of possible success should be maintained. You have to give a factual count of the emoticons Sweaty used in a given month's worth of posts, as well as assign coherency values based on text size, font and colour use, elipsis fits, scribble graphics, and Jefferson's gif content.

in a nutshell, yes.
 
Bigfoot in Pennsylvania: Belief, hope, skepticism

Eric Altman is awaiting test results on "some possible hair samples" he collected recently in Pennsylvania's "hot area" for bigfoot reports, Clearfield and Jefferson counties.

That part of the state accounts for most of Pennsylvania's creditable reports of bigfoot, or sasquatch, sightings each year, explained the director of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society

Altman, (on the other hand,) commented, "I used to be about 85 percent positive that there was something out there. I still think that there's something out there. I believe people are seeing something they can't explain. But, most cases can be ruled off as misidentifications."

After 13 years of bigfoot evidence collection and investigation, Altman now places his confidence level at about 75 percent.

Does he understand that reducing your "percentage likely" from 85 to 75% is really meaningless? Does he understand that 85% = quite likely, and that 75% = quite likely?
 
Bigfooters smoked out by High Times Magazine


HIGH TIMES searches the wilds of the Cascade Mountains in a quest to find the legendary beast. Could this elusive animal possibly exist – or are we just smoking something way too strong?

"We're in a race against people who want to kill Sasquatches for fame, greed, money, fortune," he (Steve of Washington Sasquatch Research Team) says. "I'm not some kind of tree-hugger, but I believe these things have to be protected. Before you know it, this species, this apex predator, is gone. You don't do that to the boss of the woods, and he is the boss of the woods – a regal creature that is probably closer to man than any other creature that is walking the earth."

Bigfoot in a new Guardian News article by Nature editor Henry Gee...

Indiana Jones and the Sasquatch of Doom


The recent discovery of the saola - a large mammal - shows that we don't know everything ... that big mysteries still await.

And if one admits H. floresiensis to the canon, what of other celebrated mythical beasts - if not necessarily Nessie, then the orang pendek of Malaysia? The yeti? The sasquatch? Bigfoot? Are all such creatures the products of delusion, conspiracy theories and hoax? Perhaps - but not necessarily. The little we know of those large mammals on the fringes of knowledge suggests that they live in remote places, are very shy, are extremely rare, and that to find them before they become extinct requires a degree of luck. So far, no hard evidence for yetis (say) has emerged. But in a world that hosts H. floresiensis and the saola, the kouprey and the red gazelle, one should keep an open mind.
