Dude, I Totally Have the Montauk Monster In My Trunk...Uh I Mean...Well...I have Pictures.

A beaked beast's award winning performance as The Montauk Monster began with its spectacular, yet so simple, act of dying and washing on to a beach in the Hamptons a few weeks ago. Once a D-List monster, the creature decided, after long discussions with his publicist, that giving up the ghost could be a very healthy move for his career. He was right. This little hairless beast has ignited an internet-wide, Emmy-worth controversy involving monsters, New Yorkers, Star Wars, and the X-Files. Take that, all you hairless terrier posers!

I honestly don't know who is the real freak this story- the mutated, decomposing hairless raccoon or the people who have claimed to have seen it. We've got the bimbo triplets, who claim they took the picture, the blond lifeguard who "rescued" the remains, the old man "who carted it away," or the large group of people who believe they've seen the Montauk monster alive and well. Rounding out this circus of hoopla, Alanna Nevitski, the woman who supposedly uploaded the picture to Gawker, isn't even getting any attention for her discovery. Everyone else is.

Is it real? Is it Photoshop? Is it just a publicity stunt?

We may never know, but the real question left is where exactly is the Montauk Monster?
