Oh, I know. And most people I saw played along in the spirit of that. But _some_ people didn’t recognize it as parody because they didn’t process the absurdity of it being a dinosaur. They just saw ‘big animal’ and smug hunter and went to town with it.

None of _my_ friends, fortunately. But _friends_ of my friends… good god.

Honestly, I’m confused about how anyone failed to immediately recognize the “triceratops” and location. I mean, pretty much everyone has seen Jurassic Park multiple times, right? The triceratops one of the first dinosaurs you get a good look at. And that scene has the “That is one big pile of shit” line, which is almost as good as, and considerably more quotable than, “I forgot my mantra”.

Now I just want to watch Spielberg films.

Killing dinosaurs for sport is murder. On the other hand, I needed the 'cheevo.

The entire outrage from your linked article was based upon responses to an obviously sarcastic post. Given that the originator wasn’t being serious, yet feigned anger, why do you naturally assume that the responses quoted aren’t equally sarcastic?

Dinosaurs aren’t extinct. They’ve evolved into birds. But the mighty Chicken-saurus of the Tyson plaines doesn’t quite have the same sense of fear to it as a Tyrannosaurus Rex

The hardest thing is cramming the dinosaur into the time machine, to bring it back.
