Bigfoot makes front page SBC/Yahoo???

um im utterly confused today

i woke up and find this Bigfoot hoopla on SBC/Yahoo news

its a very widely used newssource by alot of people
and they are reporting Bigfoot on the front page!

um from my point of view; these guys have no right to do this without evidence

i dont think they have any hard evidence....
but they might ; i dunno

i first saw it on the front page here
dsl.sbc.yahoo.com...

the article is here
buzz.yahoo.com...
it shows some numbers about search trends on internet

some quotes about the "Buzz"
-- "After a recent appearance in the Yukon, the ever-elusive Bigfoot stepped up 24% in searches this week. Meanwhile, his alter ego, Sasquatch (+55%), "
--the Yeti. Interest in the abominable snowman climbed 94%
--Next, we checked into the Chupacabra. The fabled goat sucker is up 11% in search this week
--the Loch Ness Monster. Buzz on the mythical Scottish creature is sinking, down 5%.

the buzz links us to "the recent appearance" which is supposedly caused a massive search / they also supposedly have a strand of hair they will be DNA testing - they think it might be a bison tho

www.canoe.ca...
"A scientist plans to do a DNA test on a hair that is said to come from a sasquatch."


Ok my main point of view on all this is....
why would SBC/yahoo risk losing credibility by reporting a possible hoax?

if u check around the crypto forum; u will notice literally dozens of bigfoot sightings all the time
it happens at least a time or two a Week!

well; i know its unlikely but i hope their DNA tests show something remarkable...
but i doubt we are that lucky


anyways what do you guys think about the buzz?
do you think they are screwing their own credibility?
or are they improving their credibility by reporting on mysterys?

is this a hoax or for real?

alrite after looking over the forums closely; i realized i missed the article on my first search

www.abovetopsecret.com...
thats where this was already reported

BUT...he didnt mention the SBC/Yahoo connection; so perhaps my thread is reasonable to stay

if you want to talk about the "search" please go to that thread
www.abovetopsecret.com...

if you want to talk about the yahoo Buzz; please keep it in this thread

if the mods think this thread is "redundant" please delete or lock it
thanks

That pic of the supposed Bigfoot doesn't look convincing, looks like someone in costume.

I have seen a Big Foot with my wife and son. We were in the High Uinta's of Utah, fishing and camping. We had just set up camp the time beinging about six PM. My wife saw a figure across the river. We were standing together talking about how nice it was and she said look at that! what is it? I said: where? she said across the river pointing. I looked and I couldn't believe it. We all three described the same thing. This one was a dirty white fir. It was long about 3 to 4 inches long. The face was off black as were it's palms. The river was between us which was about 30 feet. It was kneeling down on one knee scooping water into it's hand which was cupped formed. It took three drinks, then stood up, look at us and turned toward the woods and walked off. It stood about 7 feet tall and was broad. This is one thing that my wife, son and my self saw together and bring it up from time to time.

Check this thread, page two, about the 6th post down.....Shadow88 posted what looks like this same photo, some time ago. ( that is the photo on the second link, the first one did not work for me ...)
