Mining the internet - for you!

That's right, all these hours I spend online looking for random stuff is done for you! I was recently clued in to a blog that I find to be cute, offensive and extremely funny all at the same time: F*ck You, Penguin.

The blog author brings to the world cute photos and talks about how disgusted he is by all the bloody cuteness!!! I myself am not disgusted because I am one of those people that goes all mushy over baby otter photos. But I am amused by the rants and the embedded cute pictures in the text links.

For example, on June 1st I found a post entitled "Baby Flying Squirrels: a mini 9/11 in your hand" with this picture:


There is even a book! The description provides some explanation behind both the site and the book:

"Attention, all you clumsy pandas, lovable puffins, huggable bunnies, and penguins that elicit ooohs and aaahs: The jig is up! We have lived under your furry fists for too long.

There is a cute and present danger lurking out there–in the wild, in the zoos, and sometimes even in our very own homes. Spurred on by the Cute Industrial Complex, these cuddly animals have taken over blockbuster films, inspirational posters, and computer desktops everywhere, further weakening the innocent civilians who are beguiled by these fuzzy frauds.

But you are stronger than them, aren’t you? Those soft bellies and wet noses are no match for you–and their free ride has just come to an end.

F U, Penguin is the rallying cry for those who choose to fight these power-hungry cute-mongers. Loaded with color photographs and hilarious commentary, this book will have you laughing out loud while it simultaneously saves you from the tragic fate of tossing yarn with big-eyed kittens and bottle-nursing baby pandas forever."
