'Rotting monster' washes up on beach


Thu Jul 31 2008


The 'Montauk Monster' photographed on New York's Long Island

Viral marketing classicsIs it a creature from the deep, a viral marketing hoax or just a decomposing dog corpse?



A picture of a beast dubbed the "Montauk Monster" has been the subject of intense speculation since it appeared on Manhattan media website Gawker yesterday.

With the body of a mid-sized dog, a sinister beak and a backside that looks like a roast chicken, many instantly dismissed it as an obvious hoax.

But Jenna Hewitt, the 26-year-old woman who took the photograph at Ditch Plains beach on New York's Long Island, has repeatedly insisted that she is not involved in any fakery.

Ms Hewitt told Newsday.com that she was on the beach with two friends when she saw a crowd gathered around something.

"We were kind of amazed. Shocked and amazed," she said.

Other witnesses have come forward, saying they too saw the creature's corpse on the beach.

Since Gawker ran the picture under the headline "Good luck with your hell demons" a slew of theories have been offered as to the true nature of the beaked beast.

Some believe it is an elaborate viral marketing ploy — a Cartoon Network kids' show named Cryptids are Real has been flagged as a likely culprit.

Others say that it is the decomposed body of a bulldog or boxer, a skinned raccoon with a missing upper jaw or even a turtle without its shell.

Some have even blamed a nearby animal testing facility for letting a mutant creation loose into the popular vacation spot.

And what happened to the corpse in question? A mystery man reportedly picked it up and took it home to his house, where it is now rotting in his backyard.

Hot and humid - 45*C and very humid.

Enjoyed the place though. It's got a nice buzz to it and has a fun nightlife.

As for Spain - as T says..........
