Not really, Boss!
You see, it's the usual Fake News that Trump hints at that creates the stir and rarely admits later
it was just an empty truth.
It's a year old and falls right into the time when news-outlets wheel out their Bigfoot yarns and Nessie
sightings for staff-shortage reason and some condescending notion that sunny weather somehow makes
customers more gullible.
It's always the same format. Patterson & Gymlin -Bigfoot, St. Columba -Nessie and Betty & Barney
Hill -Ufos.
If there are any Journalists out there reading this, I will offer some advice.
Sell your lazy stories as a laxative, because it annoys the sh*t out me and many others when you play
this stupid game.
Quote:Villagers head to the hills for another meeting with 'mystery creature' which became viral hit.The Daily Record:
'The "Nessie-like" image set the internet ablaze after featuring in the Stirling Observer last month
-and its true identity has been revealed.
Intrepid villagers headed to the hills around Killearn this week for another meeting with the ‘creature’
which turned the tiny Stirlingshire village into a global phenomenon.
Jimmy Wright’s chance photo of an intriguing image while out dogwalking in the Crow Hill area, known
locally as the “cow field”, set the internet ablaze – despite the reality that it was merely a misshapen tree
trunk!
The “Nessie-like” image featured in the Stirling Observer after Jimmy posted it on a villagers’ Facebook site.
While it was obvious to locals that the “monster” was in fact an old tree stump, those further afield and not in
the know soon began speculating and Killearn began receiving unprecedented media attention, featuring in
UK national newspapers, and in media across the world.
As well as YouTubers making films dedicated to the “beast”, TV companies as far afield as Taiwan were
scrambling to speculate on the photograph. One expert from England even claimed he was sure it was a Monitor
Lizard and warned the public not to approach it.
This week Jimmy (66) made good on a pledge to donate £100 to the charity of choice of the local who came up
with the most “liked” name for the monster. Young Matthew Whitson came up with the highly appropriate moniker
“Branchiosaurus Rex”.
He was joined at the site by another creature not exactly native to the area –Lewis the Lion –who was there on behalf
of the Seven Sisters Zoo, Matthew’s chosen charity and recipient of Jimmy’s £100.
Jimmy, who also presented Matthew with a certificate to commemorate his naming success, said the whole “monster”
experience had been overwhelming. He said: “I have enjoyed it immensely. I never dreamed that what had started off
as a bit of local fun would generate such global interest. I am still recovering from the impact.”
Villager Mary Young meanwhile, who had originally suggested the naming competition, is hoping all those who have
read about the Killearn phenomenon or logged on to see Jimmy’s photo will now have more than a passing interest
in visiting Killearn or at least getting to know more about it.
She said: “I will be launching a facebook page ‘Branchiosaurus Rex; Killearn Nessie’, primarily for all the people round
the world who wanted to join in the fun, and to learn more about our village’.”
Annie Galbraith, one of the trustees for the Five Sisters Zoo Rescue and Conservation SCIO said: “The charity are
delighted to receive this donation.
“We rely on the support of local communities and donations of this type are very much appreciated.”...'
