Ok, what the hell IS that? A racoon? A Dog? A viral ad campaign?

Holy mother of Gill* - what is that!? Gawker calls it Montauk Monstergate because nobody believes this is the carcass of a racoon or possibly a smallish dog. Gawker even says: "Fox News Discredits Itself With Wildly Incorrect "It's Not a Monster" Reportage" - hahaha - ow, Fox news and discredit, aw gawker you got me right there. Funny. Instead everyone is suspecting that this might be a an ad campaign. Sheesh, we have people paranoid don't we? Some people are even using this as an golden opportuniy to send out their press releases: Like venom energy drink who blasts: "Venom Places Bounty on the Montauk Monster". Either way, the tipster at Gawker today denied it being viral marketing for anything and particurlarly it is not for Cartoon Network's "Cryptids Are Real". Maybe it's just a slow news day over there. What do you think it is? * yes I know that Eric Gill was a incestuous dogfucker. I still like the damn font, so his mother is holy anyway. Oh, and hat tip to the denver egotist peeps who have time to read Gawker. ;P

Update - it is indeed a decomposing raccoon.

Fox news has a picture from another angle at : 'Montauk Monster' Mystery Gets More Mysterious

Finally, a third, better picture of the bloated body showed up on New York Newsday, whose site appeared to have crashed from all the excitement.

It's clear from this angle that the dead animal is, or was, quite male. It's also clear from an examination of the half-rotted head that it looks awfully like that of a — drum roll — dead raccoon.
