A Sadly, No! Challenge!
Without using Google, who can guess what, or who, is being discussed here:
Though [they] provide amusement for a few minutes, their repertoire is severely limited. And aside from the activity of [...] in their fecally-laced [...], [they] spend most of their time just standing around.
Richard Perle and David Frum are not the answer!

Why, that’s Sadly, No, isn’t it?

I couldn’t resist Googling it. NO ONE will be able to guess what they’re talking about (but it’s really, really funny).

I hope this doesn’t count as a spoiler, but …
Unfortunately, penguin sex is a pretty drab affair.
When I start my blo .. um, on-line magazine .. I’m gonna call it Unforunately, Penguin Sex!

This is somewhat like a MadLib. Perhaps Sadly, No Mad Libs could be an addition to your repetoire?

You are notified. Mad Libs making fun of conservatives are against the law.

Shouldn’t that be The E.I.E.I.O. Law Firm’?

Did you read the 2nd part of that article (for those of you who, like me, cheated)? Where he lists all the things animals do that humans find distasteful or disdainful?
Almost every single one of them are things that humans do as well. In trying to prove that humans are not like animals, or that we shouldn’t emulate them, he shows that, with even the strongest of society’s disapproval for certain activities, humans are, well…animals.

Personally, I’d find the whole article a lot more credible if they could have at least gotten basic facts like the name of The Daily Show correct.

I think that’s the rest of the paragraph that, having been edited out, resulted in the one-line review of Spinal Tap’s album “Shark Sandwich.”

It’s about how penguins are so not-gay. the author appears to be a fecophiliac.

I cheated, but I won’t spoil.
Let’s just say these are people who are abnormally fixated on the words “feces” and “fecal.” In fact, they seem to be the third most common words in the article, after “the” and “and.”

I am not unfamiliar with the fun-tastic work of the FRI, but this takes it to a whole new level. And I certainly did not know that penguins only have one hole. And I truely and sincerely wish it could have stayed that way.

I Googled, so I know that those in question also:
? Kill and eat some of their offspring ? that is, they commit cannibalistic infanticide;
? Compete with other males for the opportunity to have sex with a particular female, often killing or debilitating the rival;
? Fight with and exile or kill the ?owner’ of a ?harem,’ kill his ?children,’ and then raise other children with the females in the harem (the females show no ?loyalty’ to their former ?husband’ and blithely have sex with the new guy).
? Discriminate against and kill ?aliens’ to their particular territory or tribe;
? Often have sex with some of their offspring;
? Often have sex with relatives and near-relatives (from a human perspective, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, grandparents, etc.) ? in other words, they commit incest;
? Let the males just about always get their way (e.g., eat first, win any spats),
? Often allow large groups of males to have sex with a female, even leaving her near-dead or even dead ? that is, they engage in ?gang rape;’ and
? Often allow one male to hog all the females in a given area, driving away his ?sons’ and his ?friends’ who would like a little sexual ?pleasure’ with the ?girls.’
In other words, they are clearly me, my three buddies from college, our local chapter of the Young Republicans, and Al From, last weekend in Tijuana.

Uh oh. It looks you have incurred the full internet wrath of the People Political juggernaut. They even replaced the hate mail bage link just to show you who’s boss. It’s like being Punk’d, except instead of Ashton Kutcher doing it it’s that big guy from Goonies.

Before this, I wasn’t aware that penguins, like chickens, have cloacas–the “all-purpose” orifice. Think of that next time some winger starts bloviating on the wholesome joys of country life, and the seductive charm of farm fowl.

Sounds like they’re talking about bloggers. Especially warbloggers.
