'Talisman Terry' the Friendly Frackosaurus coloring book dropped http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1310919059
A natural gas drilling company says it's no longer distributing a children's coloring book featuring a hard hat-wearing dinosaur that's been criticized by a Massachusetts congressman and lampooned by Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert.
Talisman Energy says "Talisman Terry's Energy Adventure" is no longer being distributed following a barrage of criticism.
Critics called the coloring book's depiction of land before and after drilling overly rosy. The post-drilling image adds a rainbow and an eagle to the scene where the hydraulic fracturing drilling process took place.
U.S. Rep. Ed Markey mocked the depiction of the "friendly Fracosaurus" in remarks last week on drilling safety. Colbert spoofed the book earlier this week.
Spokeswoman Natalie Cox says the coloring book distributed in northeastern Pennsylvania has received more attention than it should have.
