Montauk Monster a Hoax. Duh.
Friday, August 8th, 2008
The monstrous creature that washed up in Montauk, Long Island appears to have been nothing more than a prop from an independent movie about carnies. In other words, it was viral marketing just as everyone initially suspected, until they became convinced it was a dead sea turtle, then the corpse of a dog, then a raccoon, then a pig, and so on. According to Gawker, here’s how the hoax probably went down.
so what is it made of?
But if it was a hoax, wouldn’t they have made it look a little more…well, monstrous? This doesn’t really strike fear in anyone’s heart, so it doesn’t really make much sense that they’d go to all this trouble to make something that isn’t even all that impressive, just kind of weird.
Using the word monstrous to describe it makes it seem quite large while in fact it is pretty small in size…still not convinced!
