Forget Seaworld, Bush Gardens, MGM and Universal Studios, Disneyworld and their new plans for refurbishment, as Florida has, yet again, discovered a new way to bring in the dollars.

It's the "Muck Monster"!  You can read the latest here.

With so much emphasis on monsters and such on various TV shows, this is yet another unsettling example of trying to cash in on the current trends.   Muck Monster?  Yuck.  Could they not at least have come up with a more enticing name?

I had first heard of the "Muck Monster" back in August.  Here's the story when it first "broke" at Cryptomundo:

The other crypto sites pretty much had the same story.  I didn't think too much of it at the time so I never posted about it.  Upon reflection…I still don't think too much of it…

Revenant and Oubliette,

I agree.  What amazed me (although in reality it shouldn't have) was that this even hit the news.  I guess it shows how bad the economy is when "this" is how they handle it.  You've just got to shake your head and wonder what this world is coming to in this day and age.
