I think the most amazing thing about the recent bigfoot hoax is not that people fell for it, or even that two researchers paid “an undisclosed sum”.

The most amazing thing to me is that the men who cooked up the scam were in law enforcement.

The BBC declares ‘Bigfoot’ is monkey suit:

Matt Whitton, a police officer, and Rick Dyer, a former prison officer, told a news conference in California last week that they had made the find while hiking.

This does not reflect favorably upon the reputation of American law enforcement officers.
