Pop Culture has Gone Too Far
January 10th, 2007You know, that title is one I never thought I’d write. But Jeebus, people how about a little professionalism?
First a new Dinosaur is discovered, possibly, (I still remember when the brontosaurus was a dinosaur and not a screw up), which is absolutely awesome. and then they go and name the thing the Dracorex Hogwartsia The first part, I don’t mind. There’s a slight dragon-ish aspect I guess, so they could justify Draco. But, Hogwartsia?!? as in the school that Harry potter and pals going flying around on their brooms while being raped by Pedophile extraordinaire “He who shall not be named.” (Father Malloy?) Give me a freaking break.
Oh, but if that’s not enough, this week, they find a new fish. And it has kind of a yellowish skin tone and a almost black W on it’s tail. So, what do they name it? Otocinclus batmani referencing Batman from DC comics. Lucky thing DC put that stupid yellow ring around the Bat symbol or they may have never found a good name for this fish.
It’s not a star fish, It’s a CapAmericus Symbolis. That’s not just any spider it’s a Neogenics Parkeris.
And I want to wrap up this post with some kind of pun on Large mouth Lance Bass, but just can’t put it together, I’m done for the night.
