OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

On this day in 1968 Gillian Anderson was born. Anderson is best known for having played Agent Dana Scully in The X-Files.

And now, the news:

Usually at this point in YNT I make a (not very good) joke or link to something on youtube or elsewhere vaguely related to a news story’s subject but today I won’t because I want to highlight what idiots Chris Atkins and Johnny Howorth are.

If one is anti-fox-hunting there are many ways you can make your point. However fake footage really isn’t the way to do it. As cryptozoologists all know, whenever a fake photo or video of a cryptid appears or is unmasked in the press this is painted as the evidence that all sightings and evidence of a cryptid are therefore fake no matter how compelling other evidence may be. Now, if people produce evidence of animal abuse during a fox hunt many will suspect it of being fake like the urban fox hunt film. On top of that there are some very stupid people out there who will probably try to repeat what they saw in the video for the ‘giddy thrill’ of being a ‘rebel.’
