Penguin mania goes wayyy too far

OK, yeah, I saw March of the Penguins. It was pretty cute the way they waddled around and passed that egg between each other like in that one drinking game. But the birdie boom is getting on my last nerve. That new Coke commercial was tolerable the first 2 times I saw it. The Happy Feet trailer featured so much Robin Williams it made my ass twitch. But those were harmless (if annoying) media ploys to appeal to the public's penguin infatuation. This is just sick and twisted:

LONDON - A baby penguin thought to have been snatched from a zoo as a quirky festive gift is unlikely to survive until Christmas Day, his keeper warned Tuesday.

Toga, a three-month old jackass penguin, was stolen from Amazon World on the Isle of Wight in southern England on Saturday. (Yahoo News)

Almost as twisted as naming a breed of penguin "jackass." WTF?
