So apparently today is Penguin Awareness Day? I’d be inclined to think that any species that’s been the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary AND an Oscar-winning animated feature film wouldn’t really need an Awareness Day, but whatever, it’s not like anybody’s asking you to post some crazy crap about your bra color on Facebook.
