Public radio kept me company on the drive home for Christmas, because a) I’m an East Coast media elite and b) for some reason I can’t find a Fox News signal up here any more (I blame the East Coast media elites).

The best thing I heard on NPR all afternoon was a story about penguins in South Africa, the gist of which was that penguins in South Africa are dying because of overfishing and development and habitat destruction. Sad, yes, but here’s the silver lining: a local man has begun installing plastic igloos along the shore, for the penguins to use as nests.

See for yourself.

What the story fails to reveal is where the hell you can buy penguin-sized plastic igloos.
