Where is the sarcasm button? Maybe the score is cool, but penguin dialogue? Really? With French accents?
No, no, a thousand times no.

I've heard the French version is much better, with the narration in the form of dialog from the penguins themselves and a cool score by Emilie Simon.



Ya, British dubs would be better, fish and chips anyone?

So if this is correct, you don't need religion to "invent" morality, but religion may help people stay moral. I like this guy--he's pissing in everybody's cheerios!

I'm curious if he's carrying out these experiments on healthy, well-fed monkeys. Although it would be unethical to try this, I wonder what the chimps reactions would be if they were near starving. Would they still share even if there was only enough food for one of them? Sharing when resources are abundant, to me, is not evidence of "moral behavior" but of social behavior--and we've known for years that many monkey groups engage in social behavior. I don't see anything in this video to demonstrate monkeys differentiating between some "right" or "wrong" choice.

On a side note, I think it's really iffy to draw conclusions about human behavior from animal behavior. I'm thinking back to certain Republicans, for instance, who encouraged people to emulate the "family values" of the movie "March of the Penguins" since the momma and poppa penguins work together and even sacrifice their lives for the baby penguins. They were quite embarrassed, of course, when zoologists pointed out that penguins take a new mate every single year.

Here's a fun factoid. I live in Port Townsend, a small town of about 8000. Ten years ago, a brave man opened a new cinema in town, hoping to stay alive showing art films. The Rose Theatre. It is fabulous. (And great popcorn.)

The factoid? The single biggest grossing movie -- during a period of Spiderman and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and all those blockbusters -- was March of the Penguins. Second biggest grossing movie? Winged Migration.

This is an amazing small town with a unique population of educated, intelligent creative folks.

Just remembered about this whilst watching the closing credits for March of the Penguins. What did they need all those computer designers for?
