Vote Fuck You Penguin for Dennis


This is Dennis. Like many other krill, Dennis is simply trying to survive in this world. He is not seeking fame like some crustaceans. He believes in the American dream, that sacred idea that if you work hard, keep your head down, and help other Krill when they are in need, you can get ahead. Both of Dennis's parents were eaten by penguins last year, but because the penguins were being filmed by a bunch of good-for-nothing camera men at the time, Dennis was unable to come to their rescue.

Dennis has never been featured on Cute Overload. They have callously passed over the opportunity to feature krill at all, time and time again. Not because they didn't work hard, or they weren't smart enough, but because they simply didn't look the way Cute Overload thinks they are supposed to look. (Sound familiar?)

Now, Cute Overload (Which I do NOT have RSS'd on my Google Reader) has shamelessly and unapologetically called me out in the quest for Weblog Award gold. THEY ARE MAKING THEIR MOVE PEOPLE. NOW IS THE TIME TO RISE UP AND TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS. Just look at what one of their commenters heartlessly said about me. ME, PEOPLE. That means they said it about you:

It's a poorly designed blogger site, and most of the images there got posted here loooooooong ago.

WTF!!! Do they think this shit is easy??!! I spent literally minutes on the design of this site!!!

So vote, people. Do not get complacent. Vote until you can vote no longer. And then tell your friends. If you do not do it for me, do it for Dennis. But really, do it for me.

    Don't let those Cute Overload people besmirch this blog and the important work it does. They're simply afraid of the revelations that are sure to be made here about the things they mistakenly hold dear.

    Enough is enough people - don't take the lead Fuck You, Penguin has for granted! There are multiple plots to undermine this lead and we cannot let it happen. Vote! Vote often (ok, every 24 hours)!!

    God, they really are cunts over there, aren't they? I normally wouldn't get involved in some idiot voting thing like this, but if it means undermining people who daren't even write the word 'fuck' for fear of offending themselves or God or the balls of fur and wet eyes they worship, then I'm in. Good luck to you.

    You have simply taken a stand against the shoved in your face cuteness that place feeds off of. They ignore the ugly, such as Dennis. Well, I ask you this. What happens to the pretty, popular kids after high school? Do they move ahead with their lives and accomplish great things? Oh no my friends. It's the less than attractive, nerdy kids that succeed in life. They are the ones that nourish and propel society and technology forward.

    C.O. is jealous of the success of individuals such as Dennis. It is a harsh slap of reality in their faces to know that cuteness will only get you so far in life. But intellect and the ability to process reality brings you success.

    p.s. My word verification happens to be "menta". So very close to "mensa". There's the evidence of the importance of standing against cuteness.

    Yes Dennis, my brother, let us together rise up against the tyranny of the overly attractive!
    As for those nauseating and overdressed penguins, I would love nothing more than to see an interspecies special of them in the jaws of a killer whale, or maybe a big shark, even a giant squid. Oh yeah, that would be so cool.

    Oh, the horror.

    I check FUP, CO and ICHC, all on a regular basis. However, when it came down to it I voted for CO. I've been watching it longer, I like the posts more (not that I don't find yours funny).

    I would have voted for ICHC second, because I've been checking that the longest, infact. However, I was a little disappointed by their book that they released, it just didn't ave the caliber that the site does.

    I bought 3 CO calendars (one for me and 2 for others) this year, and I love mine dearly. So I'll continue to support them in their quest for cute, even if it means I'm probably a Nazi.

  43. okramseyJanuary 11, 2009 at 6:55 PM

    Every day when my 12 year old and 10 year old come home from school they ask, "Is there a new picture on the "Penguin" site? We all sit on the couch, look at the photo and I read the content out loud. (My son loves it when I say the word, "fuck". He's 10.) Then we talk about it and end up laughing hysterically TOGETHER. They have learned a lot of cool words, too. So not only is this site funny it is educational and brings families together. If I even tried to get them to look at Cute Overload with me they would call social services and I would be taken away for child abuse (and rightly so, I might add).

    Dennis, just last week my children and I were discussing the difference between krill and shrimp (no kidding). They know how misunderstood your people are and want you to know they have told all their friends about you and the rest of the krill. So now they are activists, too.

    All I want to say is this is the most amazing site. Ever. I will continue to vote "FUP". For Dennis. AND the children.
