Penguin Drama

Dear CNN, I am writing this letter to inform you that penguins are not people, and to let you know that running news stories about penguins and talking about them as if they were the Kowalskis next door is assinine.  Furthermore, trying to compare a pair of male Magellanic Penguins to a gay human couple in an attempt to show how natural it is to be gay is a bit of a slap in the face to homosexuals.  Besides, the analogy totally backfired.  Can we get back to the real news, please?

    Remember cable news is 24/7. I'm sure they have to scramble to fill the airwaves. This story does put a different slant on the controversy surrounding gays and their rights. Maybe a little comic relief?

    I actually thought the story was a bit interesting, but they TOTALLY treated it as if they were humans…maybe they should have had Dr. Phil weigh in with his opinion!?!?

    It is official. Having watched that news story (and I use the term news as loosely as the Penguins' affections), I am now dumber. Is it any wonder that fewer and fewer people watch CNN? Seeing stories like this, is it really that difficult for network executives to figure out why? And now I'm left wondering if and when the CNN White House correspondent will ask President Obama to weigh in on this terrible break-up.
