The Long Awaited Penguin Rant
Okay, seriously, what’s the deal with penguins? They’re everywhere!
I saw that commercial for Hallmark’s annual singing Christmas fuzzy sculpture thing again. This pointless decoration is a snowman, a dog and penguin on a toboggan singing and jiggling and the press of a button. Since when were penguins part of the usual Christmas bullshit! I get how Santa Claus and reindeers have been made part of the Christmas tradition, but when did penguins find their way?
Remember when penguins were just those cute little birds in that stupid March of the Penguins movie? Well, they ain’t cute no more. After that film, there was an influx of penguin movies to hit the big screen. There was the parody of March, Farce of the Penguins, there was that one with the dancing penguins and then there was the one with the surfing penguins. What the eff is up with that?
Now there is this Club Penguin thing. I don’t really know what it is, I don’t really want to know.
How long until someone makes 2 Girls, 1 Penguin?
Penguins are everywhere. I can’t take it anymore. First I thought I could weather the storm. But this fad is still going. Sure, it’s lost some steam, but I’m still seeing penguins here and there. This time next year, if I am still seeing penguins, shoot me, shoot me dead. If I wanted to live amongst the penguins, I’d had moved to Antarctica a long, long time ago.
What the world really needs now, is someone to save us from this invasion of penguins. Someone like… Batman! Save us Batman, save us NOW!

Why would penguins be associated with Santa as they’re from the south pole? They need to watch more Discovery Channel.

People are fickle. Next year hippos will be all the rage.

This is just typical piling on of Hollywood & entertainment in general. A hard mentality that says if one Penguin movie/product/etc. makes money then people must have an insatiable appetite for penguins all the time.

March of the Penguins made me cry! I have a soft spot for those little critters now so I don’t mind the influx.

Enough is enough!
These penguins have come to our shores, threatening our people with slavery and death. They march to our towns, pillage our treasures, rape our women, and infect our airwaves with terrible advertisements. Fear you not Penguinian messenger, I have chosen my words carefully.
I am a madman? And you say this is Madness?
Hm.
Madness? This is SPARTA! *slo-mo kick*
Spartans! Ready your breakfast, and eat hearty, for tonight we dine on penguin!
