I've been watching March of the Penguins and it's a super movie. I have been a penguin fan since I met my first one, one on one, at the Columbia Zoo and the little one let me pet it, rubbed up against my finger and was just super cool as hell to all of us who gave it attention.
Damn though, they're just not very bright.
1. They march 70 damned miles to find a "safe spot." Never mind there's no food along the way and they both have to march there, the female has to march back to get food and march one more time, then the male needs to march back to eat. Damn.
No, that's not all. No sir.
The movie shows that the females have to pass the eggs to the males and if it cracks, which they say happens to the young ones if they're inexperienced, well, the deals off and they both walk back.
Well damn. As a dude, I'd be making sure of that. Sorry honey, I missed the egg handover. Damn. I so wanted to wait 4 months until you came back so I could walk 70 miles until I could eat again. Damn. We better try next year. Let's head on back home now. Sorry.
Super cool species but dumber than a pile of hammers.
Discuss. ;)
Oh, and lets not forget, since it's on now, the dads, who are starving and walk the 70 miles back, come back and deal with the mothers and kids who they stranded starving in miserableland.
Oh, and they made a great deal about how they recognized each other by their voices. Screw that. If I made it back, I'd be "yeah honey I recognize your voice" to the first penguin of the opposite sex I see. Not like Alan Derschowitz would intervene.
It all seems so sad. Maybe they'd lose some 20 miles away but damn. Just damn.
