Rick Dyer "I told you so" Tour News...

Free episodes:

I find it hard to understand that: if you lied about having an "accident" or similar and were "found out" you would most likely be prosecuted, but in the case of lying about (and profiting from) a case like this you seem to get away with it, and in this case the perpetrator had "form", which makes it harder to take. The last thing I want to do is to discourage valid witnesses to come forward, but I believe the likes of "Rick Dyer" should be prosecuted!
 
When I was young I used to go to the county fair every fall. Once paid two dollars to see a live horse as small as a dog. Well it was legit. The horse was small but that was the biggest damn dog I have ever seen.:)

Prosecuted for what specifically?

Operating a carnival side-show?

I lack the correct legal jargon, but I think it would come under deliberate mis-selling* and false advertising or at the very least lying to make a profit.

On the surface this may seem like an overreaction on my part, but I honestly believe that hoaxing can have serious consequences, maybe not where Bigfoot is concerned but when it comes to "implants", "abduction" and "politics" etc. But in a way they are all equally wrong.

It is easy to underestimate the power of placibo/nocibo but I am personally convinced that "hoaxing" or "hoaxers" have and will destroy peoples lives.

Maybe part of the reason that I am so anti hoaxing is because I have a strong "trickster" side meaning that if I wanted to I could intentionally perpetrate a hoax, but to my mind its too easy, like shooting fish in a barrel, because there are many, many people who "want" to believe.

We all like to think we are clever and special, (I am no exception) but every person has their "Waterloo". what I am trying to say is that we can ALL fall victim to "hoaxers" especially when it is a well thought out and reasoned "hoax". I can guarantee that I believe in some things that you would call a hoax and vice versa, they may not necessarily be "paranormal" in nature, because I see no difference in "propaganda" and "hoaxing".


*sell (something) to a customer on the basis of misleading advice.
 
Some things to think about. .why would the government seize a dead bigfoot? Why would a respectable university NOT want to release the results of the test? What other proof can he offer?

"Hoaxing can have serious consequences.." Yes, even where BF is concerned. Not too long ago, a guy in a BF costume was run over and killed. Having his fill of alcohol, he thought it would be entertaining to go out one night and hoax a car or two.

After running him down did they tie him to the roof rack à la Harry and the Hendersons?





(this was an attempt at humour should anyone be offended, inform me and I will remove it)
 
Not offended at all. Putting on such a suit obviously makes you quite literally game. If some yahoo doesn't shoot you, someone might try and run you down.

Read the other thread i posted about Dyer., to find out more about Roski.

Rick was fighting Roski for some sort of rights to the body. As a result of that big fight, Roski offered to buy out Rick’s share or rights for some sum. Rick turned that down and counter-offered to be given the body for one year only after which he would return it, get money and relinquish all rights. That deal was accepted.

This is the reason given for why Dyer was allowed to tour with the body? The body is taxidermied (vital organs have been taken out) The Bigfoot has been dead for a couple of years now allegedly. Ricks lawyer negotiated the deal with Roski. Rick picked up the body in Jan 2014 and has gone on tour with it since Feb.

This hoax is indeed getting bigger than many of us would have expected. Skeptic's have also started emailing Dr. Jane Pisano, Phd to find out if she knows him?

Rick, is getting lot of media attention and this hasn't stopped since he went on tour. Recent news item from CNN

In law there are concepts called "due diligence" and "reasonable person".

I really cannot imagine a prosecutor bringing action on behalf of a person who purchased a Bigfoot on the assumption it was real.

"Wanna buy this Bigfoot I found for $25,000 ?"

"Heck yeah! Can I examine it first?"

"No."

"Ah. Ok. Who do I make the check out to ?"

But I'm not an attorney.
 

Good summary. Thanks man.

The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas is a movie theater where trendy hipster kids go to revel in whatever is the latest kitch fad (currently Legos and air-sex) while they drink beer.

Rather than crying for Big Daddy government to spank the naughty children who don't follow the rules like you do, use the awesome power of publicity and social ostracism to your advantage.

Get off your azz and organize an educational event. Show up at any venue where Dryer appears with educational materials and recruit people to the cause of REAL Bigfoot research.

Whilst there is some humor to be found in Bigfootology, it is easy to overlook the importance of how an empirical explanation could benefit all facets of the "paranormal".
It is not my fault that people do not realise how much of a "high stakes" game we are dealing with, after all ridicule has and will continue to be a tool used by all sides, like I said before "taking the piss" is the easy part, but I refuse to accept that all reports are made by "liars" or "hoaxers", yet I do not believe in a physical Bigfoot.
There are extremely clever people who are working to gain a better understanding of how the human mind functions and reacts, and knowingly or not they will, in my opinion eventually be able to explain Bigfoot and other sightings.

The people I am talking about are scientists like "Michael A. Persinger" (God Helmet).

The point I am making is that there is actually "REAL" research and investigation into these matters, but not enough for my liking, because I have over the years witnessed the detrimental effect that the "paranormal" can have on people, especially "possessions", "Exorcisms" and "abductions".

In short mocking the "afflicted" is not a sign of strength, intelligence or skill, and although it may not seem immediately obvious, I genuinely believe that "haoxing" and "lying" are directly harming vulnerable people, or at the very least their "state of mind".
