Sick Antarctic seal in sex romp shocker!

I was very disturbed by the tale from Antarctica that came across my desk this morning. The headline from the BBC says it all really:

'Sex pest' seal attacks penguin

This seal refused to comment on the Antarctic incident

All that I can say is that I sincerely hope that counselling has been offered to all parties, and that this obviously sick and confused seal is brought to justice.

The BBC report is almost as funny as your post.
P.S. Your comment is answered over on my blog with a link for you.

Hi Kris - what a hoot. He has obviously been reading too many "sealed" sections in Cosmo magazines!!!!

Re "vengeance" Yes it is a part of the culture here but instead of violence here it is usually monetary compensation that is required these days, although in the Highlands and other areas it can be more deadly!!!!

Kris, be careful - there are a lot of penguinist press articles these days and, while I decry seal chauvinism, we have to try and keep a balanced perspective. That seal may well have been abused by penguins when he was younger. Or, though I hesitate to suggest it, the penguin may have "asked for it" by licentious squawks or other provocative behaviour. We must also remember that the seal was characterized as juvenile while the penguin was an adult, so who was the abuser and who was the abused? Ultimately, however, this really seems to be none of our business.

Thanks for answering my questions Dina and Jules.

Babooshka, remember that it isn't all seals, just some sick deranged ones that act this way.

Benjamin, you raise a couple of good points, but as Dr Phil says (in Texan drawl) "this seal needs to take ownership of his actions, ain't nobody but him gonna do that" (cue applause).

Thiên, oh stop! (Please don't stop!)

This made me chuckle -- I love the black mark across the eyes to protect the identity! :-)

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...

This will hurt me...
