Sweaters for Penguins.

Alex

From the website:

In January 2000 an oil spill near Phillip Island, Australia, threatened the tiny penguins who live there....

Rescue workers at the Phillip Island Nature Park tried different ways to keep the penguins warm and to stop them from swallowing the deadly oil. Dressing the penguins in doll sweaters proved to be the most successful technique.

Soon, news of the penguins' need for sweaters spread via the Internet. Knitters in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States downloaded penguin sweater patterns and set to work. Some got very excited, adding special touches, like little bows. Others knitted sweaters in the colors of their favorite sports teams.

I'm not the most sensitive, politically correct person ever. "Fishcake to Die For" as a headline seems extremely distasteful for a person who literally just lost his life. Not trying to police anyone. I guess I wanted to throw the thought out for future consideration. Or not, do what you will I guess.
