My friends who follow this blog are intimately aware of my deep rooted (hyphen needed?) mistrust of penguins. For those of you just joining us, here's a re-cap (hyphen for good measure):
The first fingers of fear were felt a few months before "March of the Penguins" (one of the finer propoganda films to be made in recent years) waddled into theatres. Things only got worse from that point on: penguins on orange juice cartons, penguins on tissue boxes, penguins on parade (not to mention even more penguin based movies), penguins everywhere. Fortunately for mankind, the filmmakers at Dreamworks somehow managed to get "Madagascar" released without being shut down by the dreaded Penguin Mafia (It would appear that Kingdom of Loathing had already guessed at that penguins' ultimate goal: world domination). Americans now had caught a small glimpse into the true nature of penguins; and it wasn't cute and cuddly.
The past two years or so has seen the Penguin Mafia retreat into the shadows, waiting, watching...
...Plotting.
Keep both eyes open, my friends.
You do really need to stop being in denial about the virtues of penguins. Come on, they are quite cute and relatively harmless. :)
