Chupacabra on CNN
Posted by madaardvark on September 2, 2009
Okay, seriously. When will they stop ‘reporting’ things like this? CNN has to stop treating contemporary folklore as though it was factual news.
In other news, the guys with a bigfoot in their freezer stepped up to say that it was a big joke. I’m of two minds about this. On the one hand, I hate to see people perpetuate these ideas. It just gets the crazies in an uproar and validates their belief systems, even if the claimants are obvious hoaxers making a joke or trying to make a buck. On the other hand, this Andy Kaufman approach to the paranormal is kind of funny. In the end, I think I’m a little upset with myself that I didn’t assume that they were doing it for a joke. I still think they were more interested in money than humor, mostly because they didn’t really make it THAT funny. They were just riding a little joke to see how far it would go and how big their names would get. Final verdict then, after talking my way through it: they’re still idiots.
