BuzzFeed Explains Egyptian Revolution with Jurassic Park Gifs

You never know what BuzzFeed will publish next, but let’s hope “The Story of Egypt’s Revolution In Jurassic Park Gifs” is the bottom of the barrel. Yes, BuzzFeed somehow thought explaining the terrible situation in Egypt — rapes, police murdering over 50 peaceful protestors, etc. — with gifs of a dinosaur movie was a good idea.

The article is disgusting on a variety of levels, but here’s Slate’s take, which we thought summed everything up nicely:

Jurassic Park is an entertaining film, but it is not allegorically deep enough to convey the complexity or tragedy of what’s going on in Egypt.
