A Whole Bunch Of People On Facebook Thought Steven Spielberg Killed A Real Dinosaur
Buzzfeed ^ | 07/11/2014 | Luke Lewis

Posted on 07/12/2014 9:09:11 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Fact check: The triceratops became extinct 66 million years ago. The director of Jurassic Park has never shot one for sport.

Internet humourist Jay Branscomb posted it on Facebook with the caption: “Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man.”

A lot of people didn’t get the joke, and thought Spielberg really had shot a dinosaur.

This person called him an “inhumane prick”...

“Steven Spielberg, I’m disappointed in you. I’m not watching any of your movies again ANIMAL KILLER.”

“Disgraceful. No wonder dinosaurs became extinct. Sickos like this kill every last one of them as soon as they are discovered. He should be in prison.”

“He should be killed instead. Beautiful creature innocently living millions of years ago then this monster comes along.”

No, but it does include John McCain.

I thought they would have taken it for a rhino.

I would like to know the average IQ of hardcore Facebook users. I’d bet low 90’s.

I was barely able to prevent the water I was drinking from showering my iPad when I read that.

He was acclaimed the winner.

You are so right Rusty, so right on the mark.

It’s a sign of the times. Shows definitively why we have Obama.

Putting aside laughing at the idiots for a moment, this is a Triceratops skull that is on display in one of our county buildings. It was discovered in about 1960 or so. Just something kinda cool:

Some people are conditioned to yearn to be outrage about something. Spend an afternoon and watch the daytime tv shows...its terrifying to watch how the audience reacts to things. There is a whole universe of extraordinarily dumbed down people in our society.

And Facebook/Twitter are the perfect medium for them. Not only can they satisfy their desire to be outraged, but they can take action - in the form of posting a comment. This may get them the other thing they desire - attention.

When people ask me why I’m not on Facebook, I’ll honestly answer, ‘Too many idiots.’ I think your IQ assessment is probably about right.

“Well ? ! Just because Barney was pigmentally blessed, more than the less fortunate grey dinosaurs, do YOU really think only Barney should reap the huge rewards ?!? I am willing to bet even, that Barney grew up in a stable household. Why should HE have all the dinosaur advantages ? ! ? “

I am not sure purple priviledge applies in this case. Barney is a protected minority. He is a gay pedofile dinosaur. Perversion trumps color in Obama’s Amerika..

I might be a bit optimistic here but I refuse to believe that anyone is this stupid. Fer Chistsake I knew dinosaurs were extinct when I was six years old!

Just searched for Penelope. She favors the tv shows of Special Ed and Melissa Harris Hyphen Perry.

As expected, a likely obamabot.

You have no idea.

This is the answer to all those people who gasp and wonder how Nancy Pelosi can get away with the literally insane comments she spouts to the media.

Yes they are that stupid and ol’ San Fran Nan knows her target audience perfectly.

I will allow that some of the smarter Dem voters are aware that the triceratops is extinct and the last herd of them were driven to extinction by global climate change causing the island of Guam to tip over and capsize, thus drowning the last remnants of this at risk species and further obliterating the worlds rapidly declining bio diversity.
.

Another perfect example of the Man driving another endangered species to extinction due to greed and desire to exploit dangerous carbon dioxide emitting fossil fuels and a prime reason why we simply can't build the Keystone pipeline. And just think, if we had only aborted a bunch more Guam babies the Island of Guam never would have gotten so overloaded that it capsized in the first place. This demonstrates clearly that Pro Lifers are obviously fully responsible for the extinction of the triceratops - with the full cooperation of George Bush acting on behalf of the Neo-Cons

Some of those positively reek of sarcasm; others exude the stink of ignorance.

They’re such morons. Dinosaurs only live in zoos.
