Sochi, wolves, Kimmel -- what's not to like?

Jimmy Kimmel does it again! He quite succesfully pulled off a hoax, claiming that wolves (or a wolf) were roaming the Russian Olympic Village, at least according to Olympic Luger Kate Hansen:

What I find most interesting is the reaction of the news media (and that clip shows dozens of mainstream news shows). They were intensely interested in:

  • What kind of animal it was

  • Were there more wolves?

  • Is that a husky or a wolf?

  • Was it a dog?

  • How scary and dangerous it was

  • What kind of country has wolves in the village?

  • Etc....


instead of the question that they should have asked (before putting it on the air, and what would have made a better story): "Is this real?"



It's a little like arguing what kind of socks Bigfoot wears, or what He does in the woods, when proof of existence of Bigfoot should be required first.
