I see it as the same as the saying “If it’s brown, lay down. If it’s black, fight back. If it’s white, goodnight” when referring to what to do when around bears. Yes it is comedic and yes it is referring to being mauled to death by a polar bear. Sure there’s an argument to be made about being insensitive to the victims of polar bear maulings but that’s not the purpose of the statement. “dingo ate my baby” is pretty clear cut on the meaning. Don’t leave your baby alone where it can be eaten by a dingo, some people will find that funny because it kind of is ridiculous and horrific that this actually happened.
Nobody has been thrown in jail and dragged through a media circus over a polar bear mauling. Lindy and Michael Chamberlain had their lives ruined after a traumatic loss. It’s not the same.
