Own up, who did this?

Recently my sister foolishly gave my two youngest some dinosaurs toys for Christmas. After telling her to get out of my house I burnt the dinosaurs. My children were delighted because they know that dinosaurs are evil. I am fortunate that my family has been very supportive, and has disowned my children’s former aunt.

😆

That is quality and dedicated trolling of the highest order. Some big hitters of this parish need to watch and learn.

Oh, that’s brilliant.

40 pages! Jesus.

mumsnet has some weird people on it.

bestially-minded

Top swearing as well.

The associated facebook page has over 3100 members! I can only hope that the last 3099 all joined to take the piss.

From a couple of pages in,

Got to agree that Barney is a c*ntyf*cker though.

Edited because that’s not in the swear filter.

I can’t decide if this video is a troll or a genuine member of CAD

Either way it’s funny.
Edit has to be a troll

Invented?

Did you know that nobody had even heard of dinosaurs before the 1800s, when they were invented by curio-hungry Victorians?

Can someone please Sign up for Christians Against Dinosaurs on FB.

That’s ace!

Do we know if this person is American? Please, if there is a god let them be.

I’m in 8)

One of the first posts I read is;

What I find I interested is that the jokers here are Irish/English, the ones that really believe in the lack of dinosaurs are American and the ones saying all this is rubbish are a mix of English mums and Americans with no sense of humour.

Which suggest that some of you are already in there… 😆

Scrolling through and skim reading. But this is brilliant:

Bigblackshed…. Is that a jihadisaurus Rex riding a shark??? 😆

Needs more Jesus

Haha that’s absolutely brilliant.

Must be a troll. No one can be that mental, disowning an aunt!

Very jealous of the swearing 😉

well, given it turns out that Dippy the Dinosaur is being removed from the lobby of the natural history museum after being exposed as a fake, perhaps they are on to something?

As JHJ would say…I’m not saying it’s true, but it makes you think!

First I’ve heard that it’s a fake, it’s not real (it’s a cast) if that’s what you meant? But that’s hardly news.

One of my all time favourite films.

Just the OP on that thread is incredible. BM’d to read later on.

First thing I did as soon as I saw the link. It seems to be full of obvious trolls. Shall have to see if I can be a little more subtle. There goes another few hours of my life…

Of course Poe applies to both the MN and FB pages

OP. i thank you.

i cannot believe that people that thick are allowed to breed.

you couldn’t write it…

Love the search history in the video clip. Clearly VERY interested in what dinosaurs might have got up to if they weren’t fictional

Gonna have to like Christians against Dinosaurs. Christians against vegetarians and vegans is quite funny.

It’s a closed group, they’ll never let me in.

mumsnet has some weird people on it.

Some friggin weird people on here too, but thats why I come here 😀

next you’ll be saying the world is round 😀

They let me in, so they’ll probably let anybody in. Spamming my newsfeed, so I’ll probably get bored soon, but for the time being it’s fun trolling all the new mumsnet members being very serious about the existence of dinosaurs – surprised how few people are playing that game.

We have the original one here in Pittsburgh.

And there’s a big fiberglass one outside, too. wiki

Favourite comment so far

In my book, it’s ok to teach dinosaurs in school, but it needs to be balanced with equal emphasis on other creatures. I would love my children to learn about unicorns, for example, or centaurs, or even sabre-toothed tigers, but, no, it’s always the **** dinosaurs.

I know we live in a country that embraces dinosaurism and holds it close to our hearts, but if we don’t open our hearts to other creatures, mythical or otherwise, then, frankly, our future looks bleak.

Dinosaurism? I’m going to use that in future next time the subject of religion or politics comes up at dinner party.

OH’s just asked me,

“Have you seen that dinosaur Mumsnet troll?”

Yes, yes I have, it’s hilarious.

“Which one of your lot was it?”
