Andy says, The Canadian Sasquatch that roamed Manitoba last Summer and this year was arrested: The creature turned out to be an 18-year-old Winnipeg man wearing a hairy gorilla mask, which Reitlo described as 'ugly' and 'scary.' Link (www.boingboing.net....tch-a.html)
Next there was a series of commercials called "Messin' with Sasquatch ," in which a bunch of foolish hikers and campers play pranks on Bigfoot, only to get slapped around (gratzindustries.blogspot.com....uatch.html)
Seriously, why has the sasquatch myth reared its hairy head in popular culture all of a sudden? You can certainly argue that Bigfoot hasn't ever gone away, but why the resurgence (gratzindustries.blogspot.com....uatch.html)
On the hair front, Mitchell says enlightenment came with an issue of Penthouse back in the eighties, when she was a teen camp counsellor in the Ontario woods. "We were definitely in Sasquatch land, there," she remembers with a laugh. "I remember all the boys drove into town to get the new issue with Madonna in it. . . . And I remember she had armpit hair.

At Toronto 's Paul Petro Contemporary Art Gallery, Allyson Mitchell is exhibiting her Lady Sasquatch series of works. Wall hangings, constructed from faux fur and found textiles, and a bigfoot diorama are about myths, female sexuality and fun/fear. The pieces were influenced, Mitchell says, by vintage porn magazines. From The Globe And Mail: Lady Sasquatch is your dream girl only bigger and hairier, she writes, and she might eat you if you don't look out. Mitchell's latest she-creatures are a departure from her earlier fun-fur pinups, sporting snouts and fangs, and baring their multiple teats and fur-rimmed genitalia with daunting (or hilarious, depending on your sensibility) vitality. In one wall hanging, a symphony of reds, a woolly she-creature bays at the moon.In another wall piece, worked up in oranges and golds, a Sasquatch giantess takes a licking from her nude female cohort, who is buried face-first in her lap. These images were originally made by men for men, she says, referring to her soft-porn sources (www.boingboing.net....art-i.html)

The article on Wikipedia suggests that "Bigfoot is a worldwide phenomenon ." In the "Bigfoot in Popular Culture" article, it's argued that "The meanings of the words 'Bigfoot' or 'Sasquatch ' are quickly understood by most people (at least in North America)," which might be behind their use in commercials. In advertising, you have to use concepts that are immediately recognizable to most of your audience. If everybody knows what Bigfoot is, you can jump right to the comedy. (And, presumably, some kind of useful product placement. (gratzindustries.blogspot.com....uatch.html)
I bring them up not because they're sasquatch es of course, but because I can just imagine the conversation in some meeting between a business owner and his advertising agency: "Say, those Geico cavemen are funny. Can you give me something like that? (gratzindustries.blogspot.com....uatch.html)
As a straight woman, you are not supposed to see them, and, as a dyke, I'm sure as shit not supposed to see them. I wanted to take those images back, to take the shame away.

Sasquatch , also known as Bigfoot , has been quietly living and subsisting in the forests and mountain of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. No one really knows where he comes from, how long he has been here, or what he is. This intelligent creature is mysterious and chooses to remain elusive and out of sight . Shy and peaceful, his kind has been the subject of many legends, folklore and stories. What is Sasquatch ? Proto-hominid, large unknown primate, alien.? (www.rocketworld.org....quatch.htm)
Largely unchecked clear cutting and deforestation of the Pacific Northwest since the 19th century has forced Sasquatch into a transient life. Forests are cleared, degraded and fragmented by timber harvest, conversion to agriculture, road-building, human caused fire, and in myriad other ways. Deforestation is expanding and accelerating into the remaining areas of undisturbed forest, and the quality of the remaining forests is declining. Deforestation has important implications for life on this planet. Forests harbor tremendous biological diversity and influence our climate. Many products made from trees such as paper, are easily replaceable with cheaper, less impacting materials such as hemp. The corporate hemogeny and selfish interests of a few, have ruined the lives of many (www.rocketworld.org....quatch.htm)
Sasquatch has had enough. He has seen his fellow woodland friends slaughtered for no reason, and die from shrinking habitat. His favorite method of attack is with his liberated chain saws at close quarters. Often messy, but leaves a impressionable impact on his enemies. Bad humans in suits and ties are his favorite targets. Sasquatch has adapted in our new world very quickly over the last few years. He now often sneaks into the public library to surf the internet. Thru the web he met Yeti. They courted each other long distance via email and are now madly in love. With similar backgrounds and a growing anger towards human exploitation, they made contact thru an underground network and joined forces with the I.W.G. (www.rocketworld.org....quatch.htm)
