How Nessie and the Yeti Birthed a Global Cryptid-Chasing Industry – National Geographic
All about the role that cryptids play in the economies of their home countries… For example, Nessie helps keep Loch Ness on the minds of tourists to the area, drawing thousands to boat cruises and monster hunting tours. Bigfoot, skunk ape, and yeti also generate tourism dollars, in spite of a Bigfoot tour not being readily available in most areas. However, we object to the description of cryptids provided by National Geographic, which essentially describes them as magical creatures that probably don’t exist. That’s just offensive—what happened to woke culture? We prefer “oft times hairy, elusive, and sometimes frightening citizens of the world that have not yet been identified.” And we’re not getting any closer given the utter lack of quality video evidence. Although this next report comes closer, with a Creature With Bigfoot Proportions Caught on Camera in Tennessee. As usual, it provides blobby, overly zoomed images. But every so often it all comes into focus and it’s quite impressive. Magical creature that probably doesn’t exist? Doubtful. Hairy beast that is not interested in giving personal interviews? Absolutely. (CM)
