Penguins and Cavalier Uptalk Do Not an Original Idea Make

Okay. Anybody douchey enough to rip the premise to Patrick Suskind’s Perfume, with penguins, and pass the idea off as “uncharted territory” (they SAID this! We SWEAR!), should be chained to a wall, completely naked, and shaved once weekly until the end of time.

Insult to injury, the supposed YouTube debate that the video triggered is completely contrived and thrown-together by a bunch of people who either joined on the same day or don’t have profiles.

We’re actually scandalized. This is one of those “I CALL SHENANIGANS”, like, from-the-rooftops! moments.

Oh yeah, the video is called Penguin Love and it’s for Columbia Sportswear.
