March of the Penguinos

Finally got around to watching March of the Penguins last night and it was great! I had no idea that penguins’ lives were so hard.

Before watching this movie, I had heard about this movie being promoted by religious groups and whatnot. I think that’s ridiculous. The idea that this is “proof” of intelligent design and that penguins demonstrate conservative family values is just wrong. I mean, unless “conservative family values” includes trading spouses each time you procreate or trying to steal someone else’s young if something unfortunate happens to yours. And intelligent design? If they were designed intelligently, wouldn’t they have chosen a place to breed that wasn’t -80°F, destroying an egg seconds after contacting the ground?

Anyway, it was cool. The penguins were adorable and the peek into their lives was amazing.
