Stop Doing That

Dinosaurs are dead. Everyone knows that. They choose not to survive so they all got dead and fell into the Panthalassa (The ocean surrondingt Pangaea) or over-dosed while Robbotripping (Drinking excesive amounts of Robbotussin). Well, no one really knows how they died, but scientists can agree that Dinosaurs hated life. Dinosaurs hated life, asmatic children, and recyling. Todays equivlent of a dinosaur is a akward emo kid that has a live journal name like 'placenta-rain-liquid-rape-cat' or 'hate-powered-robo-tears' In fact, the only things that Dinosaurs have contributed to Modern Society is the above ground pool, which is amoung the top 14 reasons that lead to terrorists doing mean things to Amercians.
Yet our school system seem to skip over this important historical data. Kindergarden teachers show Dinosaurs in a good light and tell their students that they can imagine that Dinosaurs are any color that they want them to be. So bright-eyed big-eyebrowed kids draw a Brontosaurus being purple with pastel pink spots or a T-Rex being neon turquoise with silver lightning bolts over the calf muscles. Children should not be allowed to portray Dinosaurs as super cool animals with lightning bolts or racing stripes. Because they were not cool animals.
If you're a parent and your reading this your child might come home with the outline of a Pterodactyl that he or she was assigned to color in. You tell your child to only use the crayola color diarreah brown for the body. And if they want to be creative they can draw on a headlamp so the dinosaur can have an easier time finding its path into the depths of the asphodel fields in the Mesozoic underworld.
