So yesterday I watched* the latest episode of History Channel's prehistoric pissfest, Jurassic Fight Club. As hard as I was on the first one, it was pretty entertaining and had this kitschy value to it that resulted in me watching it three times. This episode had none of that- it was boring, stupid and I just wanted to get it done and over with. I won't go into detail about that, though, as it's already been covered at other, better venues.
Still, there was something that troubled me. It wasn't the shit spewed out by your favourite "dinosaur expert" and host, or the fact the animation took a severe downgrade since a Majungasaurus couple was engaging in severe domestic violence. Rather, it was the portrayal of the "T. rex hunter" (or T. rex juvenile?), Nanotyrannus.
We are told that Nanotyrannus hunts baby T. rexes (T. rexi? Humour me) not for food, but because they are a threat to its existence. It's basically this episode's equivalent to "evolution is caused by interbreeding" and caused me to laugh and cringe all at once, which makes for a really fucking weird laugh. But think about it for a second- Nanotyrannus' existence is motivated by a desire to squash the threat before it leaves the nest. Sound familiar yet? It doesn't help that half the show is spent talking about how much experience an adult Nanotyrannus would have. Seriously, they even have Peter Larson talking about it! Sound familiar NOW?
Based on these two facts, is it reasonable for me to presume the producers of the show support John McCain?

*Bittorrent kicks ass.
P.S. - Would you say T. rex represents Muslims or Obama? I would go for the former since they have strict gender roles and are never referred to as "arrogant" or "elitist". (See poll.)
P.P.S. - I hope the time stamps work and this isn't posted in 1996.
P.P.P.S - I'm keeping my old poll because I'm a pussy.
