I figured they would use this opportunity to take off those old tuxedos, and you know, dry clean them or something.

before I even clicked on the link I thought "I bet this is in Korea.." and lo and behold, Happy Korean Penguins.

Which one saves Christmas?

"The penguins too ...are clearly in their element"

Or desperately trying to flee the huge, screeching children kneeling behind them, or whatever.

This could never happen in North Korea. We MUST export democracy, freedom, and Santa penguins.

I would have found this extremely cute, except for the part at the beginning showing the person putting the suit on the penguin. I mean, I know intellectually that the penguins didn't just decide to get all dressed up that day and someone did indeed have to put the thing on them, but seeing it happen makes me feel all oogy about manhandling of non-domesticated animals. I feel like a dog sort of understands/tolerates you putting a stupid outfit on it, but a penguin is another story. Possibly an irrational feeling, but there you go.

Hey Korea, watch your step; Japan still controls the world's supply of ridiculous Asian videos (and yes, Japan has Santa penguins too).

It's 7:30 in the morning. I had a long night with Baby Zizzle and am rather groggy. This has stirred me awake with its cuteness!

...and people wonder why penguins want to kill us.
