Weird Creature Washes Up on Long Island Beach

[JayCaz]

Lazlo's gotta be kidding, it's tongue-in-cheek definitely.

First he says he can verify it's a snoutless dog because his friend collects dog snouts, then says it's a bulls**t story. I'm guessing he's kidding.

Although kudos to the guy for the fact that the first post about his friend, on first reading, was quite possibly the creepiest post, on any forum, I've ever read.

 

[Fading]

There has to be something seriously wrong with your friend. That is disgusting.

I have a feeling he's just saying that to see everyones reaction, I doubt his friend surgically removed his own testicle and put glitter on it. I certainly doubt he keeps cat tails and dog snouts next to this fancy testicle either heh. If it really is true, I agree he needs help cause he's on his way to being the next Michael Meyers (fictional murder, not funny guy heh).


Edit - Bah, was beat to it . Damn, and by 9 mins too heh, was expecting it to be a few seconds.

Try 11 minutes bub!! t:

What is that thing on its front leg?

 

[Untilteld]

Mmm, cutie.

Bah, thought it said 58. No excuse, c'mon, everyone pick on the blind man! (Not blind, but helps in my defense). If you mock me, do I not bleed? If you poke me with sticks, do I not giggle? If you lick me (females only), do I not rip my clothes off? Dammit, I'm a human being, unlike the animal we're talking about (damn nice segway), leave me alone /Chris Crocker.

Waits for his Oscar.

That thing is seriously creepy. So many unanswered questions and not enough time to read through the pages before work. I must come back to this one. ((Shutter))

 

[bullets]

It's a raccoon.

I still say raccoon

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Ugh, thats what happens when you have to many drinks at the club and wake up to that thing. It goes from "Hey how you doing?' to "what the f*** is that?!"

 

[Mike_D202]

Has this been confirmed yet as a dead hairless jawless raccoon?

 

[swifty]

it's so obvious that Lazio is kidding around....you guys are so gullible.

 

[The Squirrel]

Any updates on this?

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

jag

I've heard it can be a undiscovered species of sea animal..or an American experiment. It is nothing like anything I have seen,just look at it..it's not a oridinary animal.

 

[bullets]

The guy that found this creature keeps the band on the creatures arm [as seen in picture] around his neck . ...............spectacular.

[swifty]

Wow, those new pictures as well as that entire site pretty much let me know that this whole things was fake.

 

[knowsbleed]

The snout looks pretty similar to a raccoon skull like ATP said:

 

[ANTOINE X]

It s just a big shaved New York rats!

 

[Mike_D202]

I dunno. The original picture looks different than the new ones. For one: the new pictures show the creature being blue and you can actually see the flesh around the bone on the mouth. In the first picture, its pink with a dingy brown color to its flesh. Second, the arms in the first picture are bound together. These new pictures: they are not. The first picture: its legs are spread apart. The second picture: the legs are together on its side.

 

[kane9321]

I repeat...The HELL

 

[Speedball]

OMG!
Portals in time are actually opening?!
Next we're gonna see futuristic bat creatures appear in Zoo's and Smilodon's appear in theme parks!

Alot of assumptions there. The difference in skin color may simply be one side being in the sun while the other side was against the sand. Call it being burnt or dried out....it could cause some difference in color/texture from the other side. And while the picture does show something around it's one foot, you can't see for sure that it's actually tied around both legs....or even wrapped around the other leg for that matter.

You can clearly see some tuft of hair on the neck of the animal in the first pic...which is similar to the hair on the new pics. It's a little too similar for it to be a hoax picture to throw us off.

Was the Montauk Monster Viral Marketing For Splinterheads Movie?

Posted on Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 1:55 pm by: Hunter Stephenson

Due to a number of reader requests and the unprecedented success of this viral marketing campaign (if true!), Slashfilm will finally address The Montauk Monster. When a foul, suspiciously beaked creature allegedly washed ashore a beach near Montauk, Long Island last month, the above photo captivated the world’s cubicle inhabitants thanks to the diligently crazed, beloved reportage of Gawker. Was “Monty” a dead dog evidently done in by Paulie Walnuts? A harmless water rat/Satan? Colbert theorized it was John McCain. Others said it was a discarded lovechild of John Edwards. CNN introduced the meme to parents, who heply brought it up at dinner. As our crippled collective imaginations ran wild, skeptics of cryptozoology/Nick Denton posited that it was viral marketing for Cloverfield 2 or Adult Swim.

Warmer, Internets.

According to MontaukMonster.com and seconded by Gotham News and now Gawker, the creature might be a viral marketing prop for an indie movie about carnival subculture entitled Splinterheads, currently filming in Long Island. The film stars Lea Thompson, Rachel Taylor (Transformers) and Christopher McDonald (above photo, Fanboys, Dutch). On the director’s photo blog, Sersen Park, there is an implied shoutout underneath the monster’s pic to Rachel Goldberg—evidently the sister of the film’s producer Darren Goldberg—who “discovered” the monster and went to the press. See: this giggly interview. A few days ago, the above photo was posted on the film’s official website with the words, “We have the Montauk Monster” but this has since been removed. The page is cached here.

If true, it’s highly puzzling that Splinterheads’ filmmakers haven’t taken a more aggressive approach to linking their film and the legendary monster-pic sensation, especially so late in the game. As Gawker points out, perhaps it’s a ghetto hoax inside an uberhoax. But if “Monty” is indeed a guerilla publicity stunt for a $1 million movie (or any film), we suggest JJ Abrams make a toast. Developing…

Discuss: If you’re on the case of the Montauk Monster, what have you heard? Do you think it’s a viral marketing stunt or simply a once cute pet exploited for Internet hits and filler for talking heads?

Game: Using the three actors above, is the monster six degrees of Kevin Bacon?
