[Confirmed] Man Bear Pig Sighting in Wellston, Ohio, Appalachia!

May 6th, 2008 by Andrew Yates

Breaking news: Think Gene has recently received a civilian report [edit: confirmed] of a Man Bear Pig sighting in Appalachian Ohio!

I would like to know the sponsoring agency for the thinkgene website.
today my students were surfing the web and found your man, bear, pig [editor: Man Bear Pig, April 1st 2008]. At first glance my students thought it was real. I encouraged them to read on and to do more research.
Anyone who post things on the web has a civic duty to clairify and correct. People that just look at photos and headlines are mislead daily.
the internet’s main goal was not for entertainment…. but for knowledge. Leave sci fi to the movie industry.

UPDATE

From Al Gore of manbearpig.net:

The manbearpig epidemic is of pandemic proportions. If there is anyone left alive in Wellston, Ohio please recommend that the school’s budget would be well spent on razorwire and a few of these

Anything to encourage the reporting of sightings to manbearpig.net and end the scourge of manbearpig. Your efforts are to be commended. Attached is teh official AlGore Seal of Approval.

P.S. Tipper says high school students shouldn’t be looking at pictures of naked manbearpigs. She says to please think of the children.

P.P.S. Give my best to Gene

    OMG, u guys! This is not fabulous!!!!!! I’m thoroughly disgusted that you would do such a thing to me. Just because you guys are half human, half man, you think that I’m different, shnarf, shnarf. I’ll have you know that I, a firm believer in the ways of science and all of its whackey gods, wish to apologize for this science teacher’s behavior.

    Thank you, Wellston High School’s very own,

    I would like to apologize for my biology teachers rant towards your photo of the man bear pig. She dosen’t realize that the internet is not just for education and students but it is also used for entertainment reasons as well. I am actually prety amused by thos photo. I know it is not a true fotograph. But it is still entertaining.
