oh come on!

Somebody give me something to get worked up about!

Well. As much as anyone could get worked up over gay penguins.... here ya go.

"Gay" penguins spark protest

1 hour, 2 minutes ago


BERLIN (Reuters) - A plan by a German zoo to test the sexual appetites of a group of suspected homosexual penguins has sparked outrage among gay and lesbian groups, who fear zookeepers might force them to turn straight.

"All sorts of gay and lesbian associations have been e-mailing and calling in to protest," said a spokesman for the zoo in the northwestern city of Bremerhaven on Friday.

He said the zoo concluded the penguins might be gay after seeing male penguins trying to mate with other males and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.

German media reported that female Swedish penguins would be brought to the zoo to test the theory, but when word got out about the plan, the phones started ringing.

"Nobody here is trying to break-up same sex pairs by force," the zoo's director Heike Kueck told public broadcaster NDR. "We don't know if the three male pairs are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females."

(News is slow today, it's all I could find)

I thank you.

there's a little drahma going on over in the General forums:

take a look
..it gets good towards the end of the first page, then the second page gets rather heated. if nothing else, it'll give you something to read... *shrug*

Yes, but it's not as fun as the free market thread, although that has died down as well. I wish more people were as dumb, it's extremely entertaining.

This is fun! I like the part where you're fooling with your eyebrows.

Haha. I have an image of Jim Carrey raising his left eyebrow, then his right one, then his left one, then his right one, then his left one, then his right one, then his left one, in my head.

I'd suggest we start an insult thread but I'm afraid we'll get banned.

Hehe, what a riot! Thanks for posting this, Rose. At least they're not sending the offending homosexual penguins to a "Deliverance Minister" to have their homosexual demons exorcised! (Don't ask...lol).

Did you just call homosexual penguins offensive? It's just bigoted statements such as these that give the other animals excuse to degrade, belittle, and bash the poor penguins. Do you really think polar bears are going to back down and say I'm sorry? I think not!

Gay penguins should have the same rights as the straight penguins!

I have always had an unnatural fear of penguins found in church and of those that performed exorcisms.

<---- spanked with a ruler and locked in the coat closet by a penguin once because I was left handed.

Blasphemy! Gay penguins are an abomination. Forced sterlization! Sensory deprivation! Exorcism! I don't care, do whatever it takes, but -- FIX THOSE HOMO PENGUINS!

For help, call 1-800-EXGAYPNG

And besides that... they are quite good with a little orange glaze sauce!

Hmmm, tastes like chicken.
