toxic penguin?

Alas, no Friday Proverb as I've hardly been able to get off the couch all day. However I thought I'd put in a link to a not terribly disturbing article about the big penguin in Penguin, Tasmania.

Hopefully I will post something more meaningful soon : )

discovered on the free postcard stand today

Only it's a shame it wasn't a postcard that can be sent, rather the front cover of a brochure:

The Pilgrim Penguin resisted temptation and did not fiddle with the result by voting herself. Here are the results...

One third of voters believe that penguins are evil.

One sixth of voters believe that penguins are not evil, presumably innocent.

One half of voters believe that it depends upon the penguin in question.

The interpretation of results in part depends upon whether one sees the last group as fence sitters, or as accurate observers of penguin character. Whatever we conclude about this group, it does seem that the scales tip in the direction of penguins being evil. Take care next time you go to the zoo.

evil penguins?

There is a new optus ad with penguins. This brings joy to my heart.

However, I have noted that they appear to be rapper, gangsta-type penguins. I'm starting to wonder if there's a bit of an issue with the public image of the penguin.

Two further examples:

Feathers McGraw, the gun toting master of disguise from Wallace and Gromit

The criminally insane penguins from Madagascar

Should the Pilgrim Penguin be concerned?
