So, the long awaited "Bobby Clarke Bigfoot Video" was finally aired on May 4th, and as expected, A Current Affair's flair for carnival like reporting, made a mockery of it
Adding insult to injury, the host of A Current Affair announced that they would be sending a team of trackers made up of members of the scientific, zoological, and journalistic communities to Norway House, Manitoba in search of Bigfoot.
"After ‘A Current Affair’ unleashed videotape across America of the latest sighting of the infamous Bigfoot, the scientific, zoological and journalistic communities have united in the excitement of discovery — and now in an expedition to confirm the existence of this entity." ACA
The ACA promo clip for the expedition introduces the assembled team members.
- Dr. Franklin Ruehl, host of Mysteries From Beyond The Other Dominion leads the team.
Donning a pith helmet, and what appears to be a winter coat, (in studio in California) Dr. Ruehl admits there`ll be dangers...
"the flight is about 500 miles, and eh, I don`t know if it`ll be a bi-plane, or...we`re ah, we`re gonna have to say our prayers going up there.". He continues, "When we start hiking up there, it could be snowing, we could run into a blizzard, perhaps other creatures are up there, a wild moose..." ( Wild Moose, not the domesticated variety. )
- Cherie Currie, legendary rock and roll singer, and chain saw artist.
"This modern day Fay Rae, is determined to be the bigfoot bait. A beauty brave enough to lure the beast from it`s hiding place." - ACA
"Let`s rock and roll" says Cherie,"It`s probably as big as this rock!" ( enough said )
- Brett Hudson, A Current Affair producer "who managed to track down the Bigfoot video, and bring it to the world" - ACA ( If he can track down an obscure video, with nothing more than international news reports to go by, he can damn well track down Bigfoot, I`d say! )
And there we have it, folks, the representatives of the scientific, zoological and journalistic communities who have united in this expedition to confirm the existence of the illusive Sasquatch.
Now, to set the record straight, I have been told that neither the Clarke family, nor Matt Moneymaker of the BFRO knew anything about this "excursion". Nor was Moneymaker`s expertise called upon to aid this merry band of Bigfoot hunters. Apparently, Moneymaker, director of The Bigfoot Field Research Organization, hadn`t the artistic chain saw abilities needed for an expedition of this magnitude.
Sharness Henry, Bobby Clarke`s sister, told me that she had no idea "they`d (A Current Affair) make it so Cheesy. Some other show could have done better".
"The BFRO is not involved in their Manitoba "expedition", nor was the trip planned at all. The New Jersey office for Current Affair told the unit producer that he would be leading the "expedition" only a half hour before the announcement was made on the program ... Then he had only a few more hours to catch a plane." He continues, "The unit producer, Brett Hudson, is currently headed up to Norway House to meet with a 3-man video crew from New Jersey. So it's a four man "expedition" with no preparation or expert assistance." Matt Moneymaker, BFRO website,
Perhaps due to Moneymakers statement, the team`s representative from the "scientific community", Dr.Ruehl, has now indeed joined the team in Norway House. Although the ACA promo clip showed images of the team bushwhacking their way through the wilds of Northern Manitoba, the good Dr. was spotted chatting up the staff at the local KFC...Purchasing Bigfoot bait no doubt.
Okay, let`s get serious. I don`t believe Clarke had any idea of the style of show he was handing his footage over to. A Current Affair isn`t broadcast in Canada. I do know that although others such as CNN, CBC TV, and MSN made inquiries, the only one to actually send a representative to Norway House, was A Current Affair.
In my opinion, this sighting is credible enough to warrant serious study. Note I said "sighting". Yes the video was the most intriguing aspect to Clarke`s claim, but it should have been classified as supporting evidence of the sighting, rather than the other way around.
For instance, Sharness Henry has stated that some local hunters did cross the river to look for any physical evidence, but footprints were highly unlikely...The tree line rests at the water`s edge. The depth of the water where it meets land is 4 feet... 4 FEET. In order for someone to retrace the steps of the figure Clarke taped, they would have to be tall enough to wade through 4 feet of water without their thighs being completely submerged. Although extremely blurry, there are glimpses of the figures stride, and arms swinging. Neither it`s lower arms, or upper thighs appear to be submerged.
Could this have been a hoaxer, say on stilts of some kind? Highly doubtful. Besides having to avoid tripping over the usual debris on river and lake beds, especially where the tree line is so close, there would be the problem of sinking in the silt, and maintaining muscle control after being submerged in icy water for more than 3 minutes. There`s also the drag that 4 feet of frigid water would have on the hoaxer`s gait. This is just one element of the sighting which should be investigated, and reported.
As for our brave team of adventurers who at this very moment may be fending off wild moose, blizzards, and line-ups at KFC....May the force be with you!

Cheers everyone, great thread. (Goodstory, you're a crackup.) Just wanted to say if anyone wants to chat further with Cherie, come on over and join us on her message boards...just go to CherieCurrie.com and click on the Message Boards button. We've got 4 or 5 threads going on the topic.
Hey, did anyone here read that stuff about Clarke having a relative that lives nearby who's almost 7 feet tall? Think they were playing dress-up?
If it's true that ACA paid 6 figures for the video, do you think they will ask for a refund if the whole thing turns out to be hoax?
...peewee herman...LOL!...he woulda been a GREAT addition! Perhaps he'll be invited next time...I hear ACA is planning another excursion for the "Brave Manitoba Three" to Scotland.
79 - Blobby
If this indeed was a hoax, all parties involved would go to jail. The offending people would require to pay restitution. If this is a scandal, I hope they go to jail and lose their jobs for stringing everyone along.

Cherie,
I agree with Annie. I respect and admire your accomplishments through the years as a rock and roller, but I've read your resume on your web site. Tracking and big game hunting do not seem to be skills in your repertoire. I'm guessing someone else on the expedition did that stuff.
So what did ACA have you do there?
81 - Sharness Henry
I know, I know! people are still talking about that bigfoot being my couin Dorrian! but its not this thing is more than 7 feet at leat 10 feet. AND there is noone in NH that is more than 7 feet. SO.......plus 4 feet of water???? explain that!
82 - td
40 years.
Hundreds of sightings.
Thousands of prints.
NO BODY. NO HAIRS. NO TEETH. NO BLOOD. NO BONES. NO SALIVA.
NO PROOF.
Here are the real facts. People hoax bigfoot evidence, photo's and video's. There is no debate that this happens. So, until believers have DNA proof, the scientific community is not going to bother trying to disprove every bigfoot hoax that comes along.
Why not? Because everything we know about 'existing' primates tells us that it's not probable that a creature of this size could migrate over the bearing straight and exist for thousands of years in North America without leaving any trace evidence.
Footprints, photo's, and video's can all be faked. Just because nobody has replicated the exact hoax doesn't make the evidence proof. It took a team of scientists 40 years to disprove the Piltdown man hoax. And that involved an actual physical sample.
I know people will respond saying "well this guy is an anthropologist and he thinks it's real". Good for him. However, there are only a handful of scientist that believe, and thousands that don't.

Sharness, you are from NH right? whats the word on the street, 50/50 optimists/pessimists? I think that it probably is a real sasquatch, they are very intelligent and the reason we dont find remains is because they bury their own.
85 - motleycree
i stopped posting because,who wants to read ,what do i call it? a blathering song that that makes no sense to anyone but goodstory.i pretty sure we all believe bigfoot is real.i dont hear anyone trashing it over here in norway house.and yes they probably do bury their own.theres not a whole lot of bear bones for people to just find everywhere.we just didnt like the way we were or the story was portrayed.look at the host of ACA talking to DR.RHEUL looks like he could hardly contain his laughter asking about the updates.maybe he is naturally kooky.but heck if someone acted like that while talking about me or something i could show the world,like bobby has then i would feel like a joke too.im not gonna pretend to speak on bobby`s behalf just telling you what the rest of us here are dealing with this.i mean it affects all of us in norway house.but anger and insult set aside. if anything else we just want to know the answers too.and if they do decide to come back i dont think they will be greeted with a lynch mob BUT dont be acting like the drunk that they toss out of a party because everyone has had enough his/her antics...
86 - goodstory
Antics?
Lynch mobs?
A blathering song that that makes no sense to anyone but goodstory?
I don't understand the hooha. But I will say I am very, very disheartened at the attacks on the people who were brave enough, and cared enough, to trudge all the way to Norway House and bring this story to the world.
And I am most saddened by the cruel, heartless, mean attacks on Dr. Franklin R. Ruehl, Ph.D, a man who has given his life to what you blog about.
Who are you bloggy critics? This motleycree indivifual surely does not represent the good people of Norway House, not the ones who shared their stories and opened their homes to the team.
Forget Bigfoot.
Is the cree or the other actually a fake?
No matter.
The truth is to be revealed on Friday.
"And... they'll... be....
Showing all the evidence when they come!
They'll be quieting naysayers when they come!
They'll be watching annie eat crow,
They'll see Bloggy offering kudos,
They'll make history with their Bigfoot when they come!
They'll be handing hair samples to the alleged experts when they come!
They'll be answering all the questions when they come!
They'll be posing for the photgs
They'll be showing all the critblogs
They'll be making cryptozoologcial history when they come!"
All hail A Current Affair!
Thank you, Brave Manitoba Three!
Feel free to sing any of the songs we've provided.. and spread the word!

goodstory keep your gitch on..no one is attacking him .if you have proof then prove it and shut up about it already.and if they come out with that stuff you said they would provide, the world, good for them and it will prove to all the unbelievers everywhere that bigfoot does exist.but dont expect a whole lot of us to be building littles shrines in our homes,in honour of DR.RHUEL. and ACA.i mean you sure do have a thing for DR.RHUEL.you know.. he eats,sleeps,shits like the rest of us.so he`s no GOD.

Is A Current Affair now aligned with the Weekly World News?
Nice job with this, Annie.
One small note: notice in the title of this story that the apostrophe in "Affair`s" looks different than the apostrophe in "Manitoba's"?
Please try and have your apostrophes -- especially in your titles -- look the up-and-down way (Manitoba's) as compared to the slanted way ("Affair`s").
Yes, this is anal, but for whatever reason doing it the way I've suggested will bump your stories way up the search engine rankings... causing many more people to reach your work.
And that's a good thing, right?

Okay 'goodstory', we realize that you're sort of on the side of the believers (I think?) but your nonsensical postings aren't helping further the cause. They're just plain creepy and have now officially become damn annoying. If you want to continue licking your nuts over ACA (unless you're a girl, in which case you may apply what works best for you) can you please do it all by yourself in the comfort of your padded cell? Maybe start a Dr. Ruehl fanclub? There doesn't seem to be a website devoted to him yet, make that your special project and please please please give us a break. Thanks for understanding.

Gridbug, we realize you are sitting alone in your underwear at your computer but there is no reason for such obscenity in this thread (and I trust the bloggycritic monitors will delete that and other four-letter words on this thread)
But as long as you naysayers put down the one group who has brought this phenomenon to the fore, I will stand up tall to defend them.
Nonsense? Creepy?
No, I say. It is your naysaying that is nonsensical and creepy.
Your ilk, stranded in the shadows for so long, should celebrate your emergence into the spotlight!
Hail A Current Affair!
Three Cheers for the Brave Manitoba Three!
Poor Gridbug! Poor Gridbug!
What a soresport! What a soresport!

Well well well! You're capable of stringing together coherent sentences after all! Wonders may never cease! And for the record, I WISH I was sitting alone in my underwear, but unfortunately that luxury will have to wait until this evening. Nice to know that you like to think about me in my underwear though... oops, that is until I remember that you're a creepy crackpot. *cackle*
And honestly, I didn't mean to offend, it's just that I find you so incredibly, astoundingly annoying. If I wanted to read Dr. Seuss, I'd read Dr. Seuss. And if I wanted to read BAD Dr. Seuss, I'd run his 'Cat In The Hat' through an English-to-Chinese online translator.
So again, please, I beg you, spare me your asinine asides, cockamamie quips and bile-inducing barrages of crap tabloid worship.
Thanks for understanding!

I do not worship tabloid, grid.
And what's it matter if I did?
I do give props to ACA
I do say hip hip hip hooray
I'm proud of the Brave 'Toba Three
I know that they made history.
But I find your comments insipid.
I really do, you buggy grid.
I'll bet you're very small in life.
I'll bet you do not have a wife.
I'll bet you have no sis or brothers.
Is that why you must put down others?
I do not like it.
Not one bit.
I do not like it, grid you twit.
How dare you call our tabloid crap,
When your best friend is in your lap.
You may find my posts annoying.
We find your cynicism cloying.
I do not like it, grid you bug.
I do not like it, but I will shrug.
For we have made the hist'ry books,
and not just for brave Cherie's looks.
We've made it 'cause, despite your squall.
We've found the greatest beast of all..
Call us tabloid, mock our crew.
But some post blogs while others do.
And do they did, this Brave M Three.
They have made Bigfoot history.
Brand new cryptozoology.
A new climber on Man's family tree.
And you get all the findings free.
You may not like it.
You may harass.

I'm thinking you REEEEALLY need to find some outside interests, like something that involves actual human interaction. Hey, I know! How about you take a nice, long sojourn out into the wilderness on your very own exhaustive Bigfoot expedition! You could submit all your research to ACA and get on the show! Why, it could be your shining moment of triumph! Until, of course, the meds wore off and you realized you were still chained to the wall in that fluffy white room. But one can dream, can't one?
To the rest of you who are in here to RATIONALLY discuss ACA's part in the Manitoba sighting, I apologize for these occasional spikes. Goodstory makes it too easy and I just can't resist. It's been pretty quiet in here lately, which makes me wonder if this thread has run out of steam. I think the vast majority of us realize that ACA botched the whole thing and that any hope of credibility has gone bye-bye. Guess we'll have to wait until the next earth shattering revelation... or for goodstory's next inspiring post.
Again, thank you for your continued understanding. :)

Take care, goodstory, your use of "we" may be exposing more than you`d like.

*We've made it 'cause, despite your squall.

in each of these we find "we" and "our" vbeing used..which tends to signify that "goodstory" works for/with ACA

Motleycree and other locals on the rez in NH.

98 - goodstory
When I say "we" I mean the crowd
that cheers the Brave M-T-3 loud!
I do not speak on their behalf
I do not mean to make Anne laugh.
She is the one who is to blame
for besmirching this group's claim to fame.
She started all this with an article
she may have though was very smarticle
but was unfair in every particle.
She unleashed blobbies, skeptix, bugs named grid
ridiculing what they did.
So I'll say "they" instead of "we"
so I'm not misconstrued, you see.
The buggy grid wants to be rational?
ACA has made this international!
They've trod the ground.
Great things they've found.
While sand our good friend grid doth pound.
No, I'm no shill nor corporate flack
But I know what mainstream news shows lack--
like imagination, guts and fun
that allow a Manitoba run
with chainsaw chick and Ph.D and cameras that put it on TV.
A show like ACA will go
where others say "there's too much snow!"
or "the topic is beneath us", so
be thankful for this silly thread,
and the "mainstream" audience that's led
to read it so your words are read.
When A Current Affair moves on you'll see...
you'll wish your world had made TV
So hip hooray... for Dr. Ruehl...
Man of achievement, not a fool...
and cherie currie... woman strong.
she'll prove the naysay lazies wrong.
You'll see the three as they meet the press.
Apologies you will express!
All hail A Current Affair!
Three Cheers for the Brave Manitoba Three!

Look u don't exactly see dog or cat bones lying around....when dogs are injured or dying they take themselves out somewhere and they lay down to die, it's just a fact for us who live in the rural areas. We aren't tripping over ourselves with the bones lying around either. It's logical that bears and other animals do this too including the sasquatch. Manitoba is in the midst of the canadian shield, meaning that it is the stony heart of canada. We do know that in the Grand Rapid area of Manitoba, there are numerous encounters with these sasquatches. There are also many caves of limestone as well. I'm suggesting that they do live in these convenient caves. It would be foolish to only see the world in terms of what has been civilized, the vast world hasn't been totally conquered. Yes there could be thousands of the sasquatches raising their children in total freedom from "civilized eyes". :D

Lemme try (once again) to put A Current Affair's "journalistic ethics" into perspective. If they really cared about exploring new ground and "reporting the stories that we just don't see anywhere else" they'd be tackling the issues that the mainstream American media ignore, like the current revelation of the 2002 Bush/Blair memo regarding plans to invade Iraq and the subsequent deception that fixed the facts around the policy. Hell, I'd be the first to stand up and applaud if they had the spine to tackel that. But no, instead ACA goes after such hard hitting topics as the "Ex Wives Club" and "Fire Station Animal House". A Current Affair is the cathode ray tube equivalent of the Weekly World News... actually, not even that as WWN KNOWS it's full of shit while ACA tries to front itself as a serious program that presents relevant issues. A pity that they don't know that they aren't fooling anyone, which also speaks volumes about their opinion of the general audience.
What's all this got to do with Bigfoot? Not a whole hell of a lot, which is exactly my point. ACA is tabloid fodder that caters to the lowest common denominator. Anyone who takes the show seriously is a fool.
Sorry to be so harsh, but this is just ridiculous.
Expect some of goodstory's usual rah rah ridiculousness in rebuttal. I'm sure it'll do wonders to futher he/she/it's case.

I've decided that the best way to deal with goodstory is to let them waste their energy and just ignore it. Far better things to address anyway.
I noticed on the BFRO website that the Manitoba Footage page has disappeared. I still have it bookmarked, but it hasn't been updated since April 7th. Dunno if there's going to be any sort of followup on BFRO's part, though I doubt it'll have anything to do with ACA directly. It'd be nice if BFRO would send some of their own people up there to do a more respectful, in depth study of the area, unless the ACA circus caused the Sasquatch to retreat.
Any of you Norway House bloggers have any new news?
Thanx!

Are so polite like little twits
In a little club of little minds
With heads stuck up your big behinds.
Poor grid, these posts claims to ignore
Yet he responds, and leads me to write more!
A Current Affair alone took up this trek
The approached their quarry with much respect.
They didn’t argue fight and fuss
The way you blogcrits blunderbuss.
The BFRO was exposed
As big pretenders, far from pros.
They take the gullible on Bigfoot tours
And take their money, while shutting doors
On real opportunity when it doth knock
Like Cherie Brett and Ruehl, the Doc.
No I’m not crazy, not like you.
(Though kudos for that sharp haiku)
I’m with the winners, the Brave M 3
Who’ve come back with big history!
They’re revealing the evidence as I type.
Bigfoot evidence, fresh and ripe.
Now we’ll see who gets respect.
Grid or Ruehl? They’re neck and neck!
“The circus caused Biggie to retreat!”
Would not that be so, oh, Biggie Feet.
No Bigfoot’s there and glad they came
For the Brave Manitoba Three brought glory to his name!
And brought him out of the shadows and darkness, that be true.
Too bad we can’t say the same for all of you!
All hail the Brave Manitoba Three!
Oh, Cherie, we love you!
Three cheers for Dr. Ruehl!
Hip hip HOORAY!
Hip hip HORAY!
Hip hip HOORAY!

That's it. I'm going to Manitoba and ask the skunkape himself to gouge my eyes out. One more sonnet and I may swallow my own toungue.
If there's one thing that goodstory has done for me on this blog, it's to hope that some big game hunter goes out there and blows him away. That way she/he/it will have nothing more to banter about. I suppose that goodstory will just move on to chupacabras or kongamatos though...

What a great idea, skeptix!
Let's all sing!
Hail A Current Affair! To the tune of "La Cucaracha!":
uno dos tres cuatro!
La Chupacabra, la Chupacabra,
Ya no puede camina!
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marijuana que fumar!
Ya murio la Chupacabra,
Ya la llevan a enterrar,
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un raton de sacristan!
Con las barbas de Carranza,
Voy a hacer una toquilla,
Pa' ponersela al sombrero
De su padre Pancho Villa!
Un panadero fue a misa,
No encontrando que rezar,
Le pidio a la Virgen pura,
Marijuana pa' fumar!
Una cosa me da risa:
Pancho Villa sin camisa;
Ya se van los carrancistas
Porque vienen los villistas!
Para sarapes, Saltillo;
Chihuahua para soldados;
Para mujeres, Jalisco;
Para amar, toditos lados!
Everyone! You, too, Blobby!
All together now!
Tie me kongamato down, sport
Tie me kongamato down

All together now!
Tie me kongamato down, sport

Tie me kongamato down!

Oh, way to go Skeptix, now you got it going! LOL!
Goodstory, what a whacko!
122 - Skeptix
God, I'm so sorry JRG! Had I known it would be like running over a hornet's nest with a lawnmower, I would just handed someone here my gun, stood in front of goodstory, and had you kill us both!
But since I've stirred the hornets, why stop now? So Goodstory, where's the poop? (pun sort of intended). I'll even ask nice. Can you please fill us in on the press conference info without any clever limmericks?
123 - goodstory
There once was a blogger name Skeptix.
Who's obvciosuly not from the hep sticks.
No wit has he got
so he threatened to have me shot!
Should we alert authorities or simply find antiseptics?
The press conference is happening now.
Was it bigfoot or some old moose cow?
There is hair.. there are pix.
Sorry skep-tix
but now it is time you must bow.
(To the tune of "Three Cheers for The Red White & Blue:)
"Three cheers for the Brave 'Toba Three!
Even skeptics are hailign their achievment!
They've given proof indispute-ably!
Leaving bloggy snoggers in bereave-ment!
Three cheers for Cherie Currie!
And three more for the great Dr. Ru-hool!
Three Cheers for a Current Affair!
Each blogcritic has been made to play the foo-ool!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!
We did it!
We did it!
And now we move on!
Or will we?????
Gravitas.

"Cherie Currie’s a star. Rocka-bona-fide."
and what qualifies her to do this? no longer is she a rock star. maybe this is publicity to bring her back in the spotlight. why not Stevie nicks or Linda Ronstadt?

Now you're just pissing me off.
It was a joke. I didn't threaten you. If you read back, you'll see that I said I wanted them to shoot me too, so spare me the misery of another one of your rhymes.
I'm not prepared to eat crow about this. Plenty of people have claimed that they had irrefutable evidence of this cryptid. So far, no sane person has taken any of these claims seriously. Cherie found a pile of crap. Big deal. Like I said, it's probably from a hunter that was effing around with them.
Now if Cherie went out there and brought back a yeti head after taking him down with a chainsaw, THEN I'd be impressed. But as it stands, there will be no "hailing" to ACA or the "Manitoba 3" as you call them. People have been "hunting" this thing for decades if not centuries. You think that a gimpy PHD bookworm, a rocker, and a tv producer can go into the woods for 6 hours and bring back undeniable proof!?
You're mad.
