The dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" certainly looked real, but many Facebook users are mistaking the movie for real life.

Facebook user Jay Branscomb uploaded a picture of Steven Spielberg sitting next to a Triceratops used in "Jurassic Park." Along with the photo, Branscomb posted the caption "Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man." And then the post exploded.

"Jurassic Park" came out in 1993, so you can forgive people if they don't automatically recognized a younger looking Spielberg. But it's just common knowledge that dinosaurs are, well, you know, extinct.

But people some of the reactions to Branscomb's post have shown that many Facebook users' IQ's are still at prehistoric levels.
