Jref Thread Monster Quest Killed Bigfoot

Here's a brand new Bigfoot thread on the James Randi "Educational" message board: The History Channel and MonsterQuest Murdered Bigfoot. (This thread makes, oh I don't know, stopped counting, something like the 45th separate thread about Bigfoot on a forum that doesn't believe Bigfoot exists?) The OP writes that he once accepted the possibility BF could exist:I use to enjoy believing in the possibility that oddities such as Bigfoot could exist. I would use the same arguments Squatchologists used by citing the coelacanth and lowland gorilla to justify this belief.But since, in his opinion, MonsterQuest and The History Channel have exploited the topic instead of being Really Very Scientific and All, his dreams are shattered. It's kind of cute in a bittersweet way when uber-skeptics no longer have pixie dust in their eyes.None of that bothers me but the posts from the uber skeptics who believe it is their mission to contact TV programmers and urge them to rid the world of woo annoy me, as this poster comments:I have sent nasty notes to both History and Discovery about their programming. Infuriating in that they are quite capable of fielding good, solid stuff that lives up to the name of the network, and also the silliest woo imaginable. "Nasty notes?" Well no wonder.It does all get down to entertainment and the whims of producers, whether it's a skeptic show, a woo show, or what. As much as I like UFO Hunters, I realize it isn't ultimately up to the show's hosts, it's up to the ones behind the cameras. It's true with all shows on television.That's beside the point really. Look, if you don't like Woo TV, don't watch it.
