Bigfoot Escapes, Runs Amok Through CNN's Situation Room!

Yesterday CNN reported on a story about a guy in North Carolina who claimed he saw the legendary Big Foot in his backyard.

Or a doctor's office, or an airport. They're everywhere. But why? Sure, they make money, a LOT of money. A recent People magazine featuring Sandra Bullock holding aloft her newly adopted baby from New Orleans sold over 2.7 million copies in one week, at an average cover price of $4.00 that's big business.
