Bigfoot High on Meth Madness

We didn’t think it was possible for anything to knock “meth madness” off the newscasts of KHBS/KHOG, Channels 40/29, but something finally did. Bigfoot.

The station ran several news segments on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2 about Bigfoot sightings in eastern Oklahoma.

Nicole Burgin was dispatched to Honobia, Okla., to search for the legendary Sasquatch. She found a man who claims that, during his childhood, he saw the giant beast roaming the woods.

Then Sean Kelly, at 10 p.m. on Feb. 2, interviewed four men known as the Fayetteville Free Thinkers, who apparently sit around and ponder the existence of Bigfoot.

There’s nothing odd about believing “there’s a large primate out in the woods,” one of them said.

Kelly ended the segment by saying a University of Arkansas scientist believes people are mistaking black bears for Bigfoot.

“It’s no coincidence that the population is high now in Arkansas and Oklahoma,” anchorman Craig Cannon said at the end of the segment (referring to the population of black bears).

We’re inclined to believe part of the population is high, also, and we’re not talking about the bears.
