I think I've already made it clear on this blog that I like penguins. I was probably the only Craver who was pumped to hear that "Happy Feet" had beaten out "Casino Royale" at the box office, and despite what people may tell you, that wasn't because I bought out several theaters' worth of tickets. (I haven't seen the movie yet. I was busy with the Wii launch.) I was even more pumped to see that ChipChick featured these fuzzy penguin-shaped portable speakers that not only play your iPod or DVD player's contents, they're snuggle-able.

Would I buy them? Probably not. I'm still all about my Harmans. But it's nice to see the oncoming trend of Penguin Tech in action. Seriously, they're going to be making penguin-shaped robot vacuums soon. I can just feel it.

I've been in love with penguins since before the "March of Penguins" craze but loving how they've caught on!! These speakers are totally cute (altho not sure if I'd be buying them - may b if someone got them for me as gifts...hint hint) I do hope they come out with more penguin-like items; and I'd recommend the movie ;)
