Finding Bigfoot

Unequivocally my number one guilty pleasure show is Finding Bigfoot.  Anyone who follows me on Twitter (@trislerstudz if you don't already) knows it.  Really, anyone that's ever been around me when I've mentioned it knows how much I love/hate the show.

For those of you who are blissfully unaware, Finding Bigfoot follows the adventures of some truly ignorant people, who are members of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), as they attempt to prove the existence of the mythical Bigfoot (a beast they commonly refer to as a "squatch").

Obviously, they have failed...so far.

When it comes down to the bare-bones of the show, what these people do is go into the woods, make a bunch of noise (which includes doing some rather ridiculous thing called a "bigfoot howl"), and for the most part assume any noise they hear back MUST be bigfoot.  They also talk to some eyewitnesses and hear their stories/encounters with the strange beast.  Pretty much every time, the stars of the show say "I believe you saw a bigfoot."  No matter how insane the story is.

But possibly the most insane, and really insulting part of the show, is all the little facts they have about bigfoot.  They say these things as FACTS.  They 100 percent believe these things they say are true characteristics of bigfoot.  For instance, did you know bigfoot like to follow power lines?  It's like their highways.  What proof do they offer to back up this outrageous statement?  None.  Because it's just a fact...didn't you know that?

They say these things with little to no evidence to back them up, and expect you to just believe them.  It insults human intelligence.  It really does.  Like, do you expect me to believe this when you have NO evidence to prove it?

These idiots once spent 50 minutes of one episode proving there are, in fact, deer in the woods.  I kid you not, that is the only thing I got from the episode.  Of course, what they said (and what they say at the end of every episode, no matter how little they have proven) is "after seeing what we've seen here, I do believe there are sasquatches in ___."

What have I learned form the show?  That bigfoot is basically a collection of random facts no one can associate to any one specific animal.

My point here is the show is rather addicting.  While I'd rather not give these idiots more viewers, I suggest checking it out if you're looking for a laugh or just want to feel better about your life.  I promise you will.

That's all I have.  I could probably write a book on how insane these people are but I'd rather let them speak for themselves, so here's a link to a video of those insane howls I wrote about earlier.

Happy squatching!
