March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices

Zinside writes "Yahoo News is running a story stating that March of the Penguins may become the No. 2 documentary of all time at U.S. box offices." From the article: "The film, which follows a pack of Emperor Penguins during an arduous mating season, had grossed $18.4 million by Wednesday and was poised to surpass the $21.6 million for Michael Moore's anti-gun documentary Bowling For Columbine. For 13 months, Jacquet and his crew braved Antarctic temperatures as low as 70 degrees below zero - and winds up to 150 mph - to capture astonishing images of thousands of emperor penguins engaging in a mating and child-rearing ritual that is nothing short of astonishing. The Penguins are a miraculous species, capable of extreme heroism, self-sacrifice, sorrow and unshakable love."

    "as opposed to another one where Michael More makes fun of people he disagrees with by coming up with bullshit and lies"

    Certainly the original poster's tone fits that definition

    Just to clarify, I do not fear nor hold contempt for people who engage in homosexual behavior. I hate the act of gay/lesbian sex. I believe it is destructive to society as a whole (which is why I speak out against its promotion as acceptable behavior in a civilized society), but I do not hate who people commit this act.

    I do not fit the dictionary definition of the word "homophobe", but I certainly seem to fit the popular definition of the word.

    Anyway, continue with your petty name-calling if you must. I am almost convinced it is making you a better person.
