Nov 8 2007Your Own Dinosaur Park Is Near Completion
Okay first this guy was available, then these, and now (drum roll please) the T-Rex. Oh shit my friends, oh shit. They stand around 43 feet long, 18 feet high, and will set you back a Jurassic $60,000. While the t-rex may be life-size, it certainly doesn't look too life-like. I want realism people, I drew better dinosaurs in the margins of my notebooks in middle school. A t-rex just isn't a t-rex until it has a stick figure of your math teacher hanging out of its bloodied jaws.
One more close-up of the face after the bite.

C'mon, surely they could have added some staining to his teeth - we all know that T-Rex HATED Colgate :)

My dad's friend makes exhibits all over the country and one of his specialties is dinosaurs. Here's some of his pieces of work.

I think if I open a dino park I'll comission him. It will look better and be probably cheaper than this piece of crap.

That T-Rex is horrid. for $60,000 clams I'd expect near Jurassic Park realism.

So but I build better dinos than any of you.

Actually it's kinda odd that so many people who make dinosaurs hang at this site...

Seriously, that ad with the halo game tester, that girl angela is nasty. I mean honestly, when she sees that ad when surfing the net, does she cry? If I was that ugly and fat I think if my face was plastered all over the net, I think I'd pack up my dark fat lair of self-loathing and video-game driven life, and, I dunno, maybe EXERCISE.

#3, nice work (the dinosaurs in the pictures)...Honestly, these people who made this dinosaur clearly never saw Jurassic Park (the movie) or Peter Jackson's King Kong. I'd say those in the movies look way more realistic than this thing...for this specific one, I say I'd agree with #1, they should paint it purple so it can be officially a televised star for a kids' program.

Oh and wtf is up with #10...anyone?
13. #10 is correct - November 14, 2007 3:20 PM
I think they were pointing out the obvious point that the girl in the xbox ad (the fat one with ugly hair) has no business being on the net. At least not on any site not for weirdos who like fat, slobby, ugly goth girls.
