Egg Politics
Problem: A male group of rare penguins are hanging out amongst themselves at their zoo home, refusing to help their species stop being rare.
Solution: Bring in some new females in the hopes of "getting the party started".
Result: Politics happens:
The initiative to "turn" the penguins and make them mate had prompted a furious response from gay rights groups.
Because we all know how oppressed the gay penguin population is these days. Stonewall! Stonewall! Stone... rrmm... glacier?
From what I’ve been taught, penguins were the first studied animals to exhibit homosexuality. There are many others, but why is this an issue? If they won’t fuck to save their own species, then that’s there own problem.

He thought it was great that the zoo was going to take flak from either the greenies or the rainbows no matter what they did. Apparently he thought that, once it was proven that democratic civilization couldn't possibly live up to all of the left's expectations, the "so called democracy" would fall and be replaced by humanity's only hope for the future, a socialist / anarchist "system" (not a government; that word is inherently classist).
The possibility that it could be the left that falls (indeed, arguably has fallen, hit the bottom of the grave they dug themselves, and is now working its way to the Earth's molten core) simply didn't seem to occur to him.
