the return of penguin lust

Patrick pointed out a New York Times article on conservatives flocking to March of the Penguins because it "affirms traditional norms like monogamy, sacrifice and child rearing", not to mention (ugh) intelligent design. "Hooey" is the word that comes to mind, mostly because I saw the same film and didn't feel even a twinge of neocon longing.

Don't let a few kooky fans get in the way of seeing the film, though. It's an extraordinary documentary on a fascinating subject, and well worth the price of admission.

Ummm... did we see the same movie? I saw a movie about animals that were serially monogamous but chose a new partner every child, shared child care equally between partners (with dad staying home first!), and were quite community-oriented and focused on the common good. I found nothing conservative about it at all, in the political sense. Maybe they're talking about March of the Presbyterians? Or something.
