Cable television and the Sasquatch of modern folklore

[DennyT]

The new season of Finding Bigfoot begins this week. Inasmuch as the episodes are already in the can and no earthshaking zoological announcement has been made I think we can assume that no flesh and blood Bigfoot has been found. I do anticipate the discovery of several new subspecies of Blobsquatchis youtubis hoaxamentis and possibly a new Homo sapiens lo-resolutiensis.

Don't forget Dudicus wearingahoodius and Dudicus crapinthewoodensis, close relatives of the Blobsquatchicles unfocusoid.

Oh boy. Word is the crew is heading overseas. Can't wait to see Bobo involved in an international incident. "It's common knowledge that Squatches make calls that sound just like drunken soccer hooligans."

All of the episodes are the same.

See a bad bigfoot movie.
Have a meeting.
Talk to bumpkins about sightings.
Do ridiculous recreation and analysis.
Ranae half heartedly plays the doubtful skeptic.
Wander around the woods with a green tinted camera.
Holler a couple times.
Say squtachy now and then.
Announce that bigfoot is near.
The end.

But when do Shaggy, Scooby and friends reveal that it's all a hoax intended to get people to pay for Sasquatch hunting camping trips?

They can't actually find Bigfoot, because then there won't be another season. I think people who are making tons of cash off Bigfoot don't really want him to be found. Keeping the myth alive means keeping the paycheque alive.

And Sasquatch is the old hermit who lives in the unsanitary nacho stand from the old closed down local amusement park in a Chewbacca suit.

Sanitary Nacho would be an excellent bandname
