i've been quiet lately - as have most penguinlover types. but bob
saget's plan to rip off march of the penguins has had me fuming for a
while. so when my penguin search led me to a comment on his new
'satire', i finally let a little out. here's how to find the real
thing:

and my words of wisdom or at least pengophilia

Saget has been unfunny in a wide variety of settings. The closest he
cames was on the CBS morning show long ago. Each new try leaves me less
wanting to watch him.

Now he decides it would be hollywood funny to take on an absolutely
special movie about my favorite creature. I live for well done satire
and cynicism but I am offended by this. Penguins have always been easy
to laugh with - so there's no show of brilliance in his finding the
object of satire here. And the picture was so special that picking it as
his object sounds more like ripping off the popular for the sake of
dollar. I'd be a lot more impressed by his attempting a truly funny film
about important problems in the world, eg real humor on the issues
raised by michael moore or al gore's issues. global warming in fact
affects penguins. But i suspect Bob Saget is unconcerned about this or
any other real problem facing penguins and won't feel the least
compunction to share the riches he receives off penguins with them
