Please examine our site visits for yesterday versus August 15th, 2008. Yesterday we covered the new iPods. August 15th, we covered the Bigfoot press conference. To be fair, these are just visits, not pageviews. We did more pageviews yesterday than we did with the Bigfoot stuff. Now imagine if Steve Jobs had Bigfoot as the special guest at the next Apple event. The internet would probably melt.
Just received a big, long comment on our original Bigfoot post (found here) concerning the events that have taken place over the past week or so. Would you believe that this whole Bigfoot thing is looking more and more like a hoax? Can you believe it?!!
Looks like the Bigfoot’s foot was apparently made of rubber and that a sample of the creature’s hair, when burned, “melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair.”
Full story after the jump. Thanks to Mr. Bluze for leaving this over on our other post.
The alarm goes off, and my daily routine begins. Out of bed, into the shower, wash, brush, dress. From there, it’s straight into the Crunchgear writer chatroom.

Greg K. Good morning, party people.
Doug A. happy Bigfoot day, Greg
Crap. Today was the day of Bigfoot press conference. I wanted to use Qik to share the conference with the world, but I still hadn’t managed to track down anyone involved who could tell me what exactly I’d need to get in the door — or if I even could. It’s one of the few nasty parts of being a blogger – a small (but just big enough to be horribly annoying) chunk of people out there still don’t consider bloggers to be press. I dig up the e-mail address of Tom Biscardi (the main face of the whole Bigfoot fiasco), rocket off an email, then hop in the car and tear down the 101.
Our own Greg Kumparak is live at the Bigfoot press conference we told you about the other day. Remember? They found and captured Bigfoot? Hit the jump to watch…
See that photo there? That comes from the web site Searching For Bigfoot. Don’t bother going there right now. There’s nothing there except a note to check back later “for a big announcement.” The photo is supposedly the body of a real-life Bigfoot, although our own Greg Kumparak says it “looks like a F-ing carpet thrown into a bath tub with a Chewbacca mask on top.”
The big announcement in question is supposedly coming this Friday from two men in Georgia who claim they have “a body, photos of the body, and DNA evidence,” according to LiveScience.com. The problem is that these two men are involved with a third man named Tom Biscardi, who apparently perpetuated a Bigfoot hoax back in 2005. He even tried to get people to pay $59.95 for “the chance to see a Bigfoot captured on live television.”
