I was talking to my sister today and she mentioned that she had just seen the movie "March of the Penguins". For those of you who may not have heard of this movie, it is a documentary about... well, penguins. Now I have not seen the movie myself because I avoid documentaries almost as religiously as I avoid eating more than 3 bowls of puppies a day, but some of the things she said about it were kind of interesting.
You see, apparently penguins have a very difficult lives, as i quote from someone who actually has seen the film:
FluffyPomPom19: "its sad. they have very sad lives. they never spend times with their families! they keep marching to get food and to feed their children regurgitated food and its a hard knock life."
Indeed it is fluffy, and it gets harder than that, for though those hardships are quite difficult, they can not come close to one that I do not believe was in the documentary: They have the shittiest swimming pool game in existence named after them.
Have you guys ever played penguin? what happens is all players save one stands on the edge of the pool while the one remaining player is in the pool well away from everyone else. This person will shout words that begin with the letter P in quick succession like "Pencil! Pogo! Penis! Post-traumatic stress disorder!" and then when penguin is yelled you jump in. If you jump in before penguin you lose and if you jump in first post-penguining you win. The prize? To be the person who shouts letters! Sound fun? Your goddamn fucking right it doesn't.
And these penguins have to deal with this all the time. Not only do their lives suck, but they are being humiliated by silly kids with access to pools everywhere. This is completely fucking unacceptable. And I doubt the penguins will stand for it much longer. Mark my words (unless your name happens to be Mark in which case that would be redundant) one day a penguin will look at his buddy and go "Hey Phil, lets kill these pricks" And if Phil agrees it will be a dark day for retarded children and swimming pools.
By the way as a little postscript to my sisters comment, that hard knock life video would be five-hundred times cooler with penguins singing the chorus.
