2. I'm so proud of those penguins...

...those finely dressed birds REFUSE to be locked up in your little cage. You go penguins!

3. Did they try praying over them?

:D

[burn the bush]

5. yes, obviously an exorcism or something is needed here

those penguins have perhaps been made gay by gay parenting? Liberal penguins touting sex at exclusive ice domes? What made these sinful penguins gay?

7. I know what the problem is ...

It's that secret, homosexual penguin agenda! They recruit young penguins by teaching tolerance and diversity. :eyes:

11. No doubt little kids wearing Spongebob shirts caused them to catch the gay

:D

9. Hot Military Penguin.com ?

There's another idea for Gannon/Guckert, it's a gold mine I tell you, a gold mine!

4. That's the funniest thing I've read today

I can just see some irate zoo-keeper standing over the penguins...

"Don't be gay, Penguin! Don't be gay!"

Just like that Southpark episode.

6. So ...

If homosexuality is "unnatural" then why does it occur throughout nature?

(Google "homosexuality in nature" or "animal homosexuality" for some very interesting articles on the subject. Also, take a look at Bruce Bagemihl's book "Biological Exuberance : Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity")



From the 365gay.com article:
"The gay males were separated from their mates and one by one the females were introduced. The males pined for their mates until they were reunited."


How cruel! That's so sad. Poor little penguins. :cry:



On edit: I was so saddened by the thought of lonely penguins that I forgot to add ... you go penguins! :toast:

I've always loved penguins. They are the cutest things ... :loveya:

8. They haven't found Jebus...................

In fundiethink anyway.

All apologies to the GBL community.

10. gay penquins who would have thunk it

Maybe that is why the penquin was my favorite villian on Batman.

12. Subvert the dominant paradigm...

my feathered little buddies!

13. Very funny

but the rapidly melting caps are killing them off at an accelerated rate. Penguins in zoo captivity are exhibiting many survival threatening behaviors, possibly weather related, such as uncontrollable migratory patterns that leave them swimming in circles non-stop for months. Penguins in the wild are washing up confused and emaciated on the shores of Brazil. Entire colonies of penguins are going to die of starvation this year due to the collapsing polar ice.

Try to think of this as an attempt to save species rather than an attack on a particular waterfowl lifestyle choice.

14. Gay Penguin for America

Gay Penguin: Just as Good
Two of the Bush is worth a bird in the White House:


"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things." - President George Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

Many commentators will observe that Gay Penguin himself is not very analytical, nor does he spend time thinking about himself and why he does things. You see, Charles Darwin once wrote about animal intellect:

"It may be freely admitted that no animal is self-conscious, if by this term it is implied that he reflects on such points, as whence he comes or whither he will go, or what is life and death, and so forth." - Darwin, "The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex."

So, if this lack of self awareness is, as Mr. Bush suggests, a political strength, surely no one can "out penguin" an "out penguin"?

But there's more. As we know, a penguin has no real depth of understanding regarding his own death, or the death of others. But perhaps you will agree that Gay Penguin's grasp on such matters is at least as intelligent as Bush's. Consider this thought, but instead of coming from the president of the united states, coming from a telepathic communication with a penguin:

"Look at these different places around the world where there's been tremendous death and destruction because killers kill." - President George Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2004

While an animal like a monkey or elephant may be able to understand death as well as Mr. Bush does- that indeed, what a killer does is kill things- a Penguin might, too. You see, something that Mr. Bush, a Monkey, an Elephant and a Penguin all have in common is that they are all mammals ahem- creatures of instinct. So, it would be safe to say that yes, a Penguin, too, understands that "killers kill."

That's why Gay Penguin walks away from loud, scary people, as well as any natural predator, such as the terrorist Leopard Seal, which eats penguins alive because it "hates freedom".

16. How funny can it get?

17. lol

Next they'll be preaching abstinence to the poor penguins - you know, it's okay to be gay, just so long as they don't act on it.

18. I'm surprised fundies didn't try that here. n/t
