As part of their marketing for Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Capcom has decided to sponsor a real life Monster Hunt. The exhibition will travel to Guyana in order to seek out didi - South America's version of Bigfoot - and giant anacondas. We're not sure how financing a wild goose chase will help sell a PSP game. Presumably by having news sites and blogs reporting on it.
Did it work?

I guess it did. What happens if by some statistical(and logical) improbability that they find the fictitious monster, who keeps it Capcom or the expedition team?
It could become their new mascot. *thinks of the possibilities: megafoot, devilfoot, zombiefoot, dragonfoot, kungfufoot*

Pehaps they will find it, roast it's body, and stuff it with foreign meats for people to eat as nude women rub up against them in a pit of the anaconda's babies.
Wait...God of War already threw that launch party.

So Didi is the South American version of Big Foot?
Weird. Never heard about it.
But then, all of us South Americans live in just one country. I must be out of place!
(Hint: No, that didi thing is not South America's Big Foot. It may be Guyana's Big Foot, but certainly it isn't a generalized phenomenon.)
Anyway, Capcom should commercialize this as the "Mobile World of Warcraft Replacement" for the American and European public. Now that'd sell.

This should be about as interesting as Al Capone's stash.
