dinosaurs as failures

[Scott Sampson <ssampson@umnh.utah.edu>]

Folks,

As we all know, dinosaurs are often put forth as the ultimate example of
failure, simply because they are no longer with us (birds excluded).  I am
collecting examples of magazine and television advertising that have
made use of this inappropriate analogy.  Thus, if any one out there knows
of any good examples of this (and can provide the reference or source), I
would greatly appreciate the input.  Please respond offline.  Thanks very
much.
