I’ve never thought about tickling a penguin before, yet here it is. Proof positive that penguins are ticklish and humans are anthropomorphizing suckers for cute baby animals.

Like most people, I like penguins. They have that cute waddling walk and a complex social structure. They slide around the ice on their stomachs and swim like little tuxedoed dreams. What’s not to love?

I think the danger is when you start to love penguins too much. I’m a huge fan of Lyle Lovett, however, something about this video disturbs me. But then again, who am I to come between a man and his penguin?
