Starbucks in LA is selling souvenir cups depicting a dinosaur 🦕 stuck in a tar pit

Would you prefer Jesus riding it?

I'm offended!

Maybe it’s a Flintstones reference?

....

To think people used to have to worry about Polio, conscription into major wars, economic collapse, Typhoid fever, etc etc etc -- it's good to know there's still always something to get in a twist about.

It's OK, OP. Just cradle it in away that your hands hide it.

a way*

I'm sure more people in LA will now be offended by the helicopter considering...

That’s a pretty sweet mug! I’m gonna go buy one!

Oh god, I didn’t even see the helicopter crashing into the mountain at first, that was quick to get commemorative mugs out in less than a week.

What's in the Starbuck mug dino's mouth? It looks like an uncit cock and scrotum?

What is the inaccuracy, OP.

Dinosaurs didn’t get trapped in the Los Angeles tar pits. They were already extinct many millions of years. Prehistoric mammals like mastodons, giant sloths and saber toothed tigers got trapped in the tar pits.

I expect my Starbucks paraphenalia to be historically accurate AND free of all references to dinosaurs. FUCK YOU STARBUCKS.

How dare they not include the dinosaurs preferred pronouns!

How do you know it's a tar pit, OP. It could just be a dinosaur farting up methane in a swamp.

Anyone who plasters animal cruelty on mugs to make a buck can fucking die. Accurate or not, that animal appears to be choking on it's own tongue while struggling to free itself. Fuck you Starbucks.

R17, I thought it was eating leaves, like the illustration in R16.

It is depicted in a struggling-type motion. That is not a leaf. It appears as though it has bitten it's tongue and that is why the shape is jagged. This is morbid.

Excuse me, are these mugs guaranteed to trigger my coworkers?

If I don’t buy the mug can I still use the bathroom?

I don't know, r21. Can you do a decent impression of an animal dying its last breath?

It’s not in a struggling type motion, and that IS a leaf, not its tongue. It’s clearly a stegosaurus, and they only ate leaves.

That’s a sauropod 🦕 not a stegosaurus you freaking dumbass.

It's not a stegosaurus. WTF are you smoking?

R23 = ANOTHER Starbucks illustrator

Isn’t the freeway with no cars on it more deceptive?

Choke on a leaf you motherfucking maggot illustrator.

This is appalling.

r11 is projecting.

Tu puta madre.

Anti-dinosaur propaganda.

I'm pro-dinosaur, dino-positive!
