Who has the video of the mean penguin on his/her posts?
(Putting this on the General Discussion Board because that's where I saw it most recently, I think)

I'm talking about the penguin who smacks a hapless passing penguin with his flipper and dunks him? I thought it was hysterical and saved the link. Today when i click on it, it has a pic. of Kerry with the words, "not my hypocrite."

Now that I look at the link address, I see it goes to a private site owned by a band. To whoever had the video on their posts: linking to that site was essentially stealing bandwidth from them. My guess is that the site owners traced all the hits on their site back to DU, got mad, and attached the anti-Kerry link instead.



Just a note to folks not to link to private sites without permission. If anyone knows where to get the penguin video free for download, please do tell.

19. I like the drawing of the cute kitty
that is lying down, rises up a bit, then lies down again. But the slapping penguin is funnier.

12. That penguin gif. always seemed fake to me
The one doing the slapping actually looks fake and also the one hapless penguin starts to fall before and without being hit.

Damn thing was also slow to load on dial up.

15. it is fake....
there is a more obviously fake version where the penguin trips the other one with his feet.

this one is funnier because it isn't quite so obviously fake.

18. I wasn't aware of the other
Not quite sure what the fuss is all about with this one. Thing seems silly to me.
