Minding my own business, I was quietly searching for videogames that will be coming out later in the year. I’ve always thought that GameSpy has had the most comprehensive, up-to-date game release schedule.

But for the upcoming Jurassic Park game, some lackadaisical writer at GameSpy wrote: “This episodic game series is based on the John Crichton novel and blockbuster movie series following an ill-fated attempt to bring dinosaurs back from extinction.”

John Crichton? As someone who often interviewed Michael Crichton, I’m royally ticked off.

All the writer needed to do to avoid the embarrassing error was to Google Jurassic Park.

I guess Thomas Edison was right: “There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.”

Sheesh.
