Bigfoot Quote by Mitch Hedberg
“I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here.”

![“People often trust low-res images because they look more real. But of course they are not more real, just easier to fake. [...] You never see a 10-megapixel photograph of Big Foot or the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster.” quote by Errol Morris](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5ba/errol-morris-2512_bigs_people-often-trust-low-res-images-becaus_2798869.jpg)
