Here at Neatorama, we've previously written about a few inventive campaigns by the Dutch advertising company DDB. That firm once turned a subway stairwell into a piano, used zombies to promote cholesterol awareness, and made gorilla attack-proof glasses. One of their more recent efforts touted the effectiveness of a certain line of refrigerators by suggesting that they could preserve meat as old as the dinosaurs.

Taxonomically, they not only descend from theropod dinosaur predators, but because they do not present any complex attribute not to be found among unarguably "true" dinosaurs -including beaks, incubated shelled eggs, scales, and flight feathers- they are not even rightly considered a new type of creature that merely "came from dinosaurs." Penguins, hummingbirds, and chickens ARE dinosaurs of the avian theropod type, for the same reasons pterodactyls and plesiosaurs were NOT dinosaurs of ANY type.
As usual, reality is more bizarre and excellent than fiction.
