That post is of course a billion years old itself and the images created by shrink-wrapping are still in people's heads. Feathers on dinosaurs are rarely what people think of first as well and the notion has been around for quite a while.

I mean the lizard dinosaurs are everywhere. Every toy, movie, even in schools.

Feathers have been found on dinosaur fossils only "recently", with the discovery of Sinosauropteryx in 1996
