By now you've heard the new twist on an old tale. Two hikers stumble upon a carcass of the storied Sasquatch, drag the 500-pound corpse onto a pickup truck, and secretly place it in cold storage before Bigfoot buffs are able to get their greedy hands on it.
Then the guys do what any opportunistic 21st century capitalists would do: cash in via e-commerce. The lucky entrepreneurs, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, hold a press conference wearing hats emblazoned with a SearchingForBigfoot.com URL.
On the site they feature a commemorative pewter belt buckle for just $29.99, a "Searching for Bigfoot" four-DVD collection for $95, a "Bigfoot Lives" lapel pin for a mere $6.50, and much, much more.
I know what you're thinking: "Why the heck didn't WE find Bigfoot and earn a fortune in free advertising for OUR company?"
What if I said YOU could have the very same Bigfoot carcass Whitton and Dyer found? According to Jerry Parrino, owner of TheHorrorDome.com, the now-famous photograph of the deceased creature in the white self-storage vault "definitely looks like our costume."
Parrino's costume is selling for $449 on his site. It's apparently a limited edition and only 100 will be made. So if you hurry, you too could stage your own photo op and ride the coattails of Bigfoot '08.
If the suit fits, wear it.
