Penguins used to be cute. Maybe too cute. First we watched them March, while Morgan Freeman told us their sad story. Then we watched them surf the coastal swells of Hawaii. Now they are everywhere. From towels, T shirts, and toilet seat covers, to movies, posters, and frozen products of all kinds.
They said it about the Beatles, the Monkeys, and the Coca Cola Polar Bears, but no one has the guts to say it about Penguins. Until now. Penguins have officially sold out. That's right, completely sold out. Traded their migratory patterns, and frozen real estate for Town Houses in Beverly Hills.
One word of warning: Enjoy it while it lasts. As you will remember Koala bears and Elephants had a pretty good run too, but like all animals spokesmen, their shelf lives were relatively short. Today Mr. Penguin, you are living the high life. Fancy parties, celebrity friends, and waddling down the red carpet. But don't blink, in a second it could all be over, and you'll be back to being a slightly freakish looking bird that can't fly.
And as a heads up... I think the Meerkats are eying you jacuzzi.
