"Gay" penguins spark protest
1 hour, 4 minutes ago
BERLIN (Reuters) - A plan by a German zoo to test the sexual appetites of a group of suspected homosexual penguins has sparked outrage among gay and lesbian groups, who fear zookeepers might force them to turn straight.
"All sorts of gay and lesbian associations have been e-mailing and calling in to protest," said a spokesman for the zoo in the northwestern city of Bremerhaven on Friday.
He said the zoo concluded the penguins might be gay after seeing male penguins trying to mate with other males and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.
German media reported that female Swedish penguins would be brought to the zoo to test the theory, but when word got out about the plan, the phones started ringing.
"Nobody here is trying to break-up same sex pairs by force," the zoo's director Heike Kueck told public broadcaster NDR. "We don't know if the three male pairs are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females."
ROTFLMBO!!!!
Insert your B&W/theme park resident joke here
I heard it about Shamu/Michael
PS I always wondered my dogs got 'exited' over a 'piece o pissa'...
Garden hose... "DOWN BOY" roflmao...
A: LET HIM FINISH ...
oops, pissa=pizza ...lolol
Undoubtedly the queers have never seen a dog hump on a furniture leg.
Now, we know why they are getting more and more rare.
I guess your addition would be a chair-o-phobe!
Let him finish...ba dump bump!
Thanks.
Bingo!
And, if the Swedish females have similar proclivities, at least they'll get to watch.
NUTS!
I mean...oh never mind.
I had a cockatiel with a (human) foot fetish.
These social engineers wackos need to get a life ~ homosexual penguins my arse ~ what are dogs that hump someones leg called: leggosexuals?
Heaven forbid that a zoo, which is supposed to protect animals, should want the animals they have in stock to actually REPRODUCE.
It would be better for all concerned if the pengions just died off, necessitating an expedition to Antartica to capture more of the little buggers, who won't reproduce, completing the Great Cosmic Cycle.
There are far too many people on this planet, with far too much free time on their hands, who go through life looking for excuses to be offended. In this case, the use of the word "GAY" was enough to stir some of these folks into (non-perverted) activity.
I say that we do the "politically Correct" thing in this case, and instead of calling the penguins "gay" and pointing out their "lifestyle choice" that we instead use the adjective "tastefully-dressed, flightless, poo-stabbers".
" And if I recall correctly, penguins pick a mate and stick with them for life."
Depends on the type of penguin. From what my girlfriend told me about her trip to Australia, penguins have a high divorce rate. They also like the fat ones.
,,, can those Swedish penguins still get paid welfare while they're out of their country?
I fail to see why gays are jumping up and down over this. They've ridden the crest of a social experiment that's got them where they want to be. Put the male penguins in leather and chains and wack them onto a float straight away! It's showtime.
