Yeah... Some of my other friends have complained about that.

It's just like anything. When someone catches on that x = money, then everyone wants to do/make/sell x.

And because everyone loved the penguins in Madagascar, even though they had a minor role. There was even a Christmas short produced on them.

They're cute and therefore infinitely marketable, appealing to all ages (chibis: "LOOKIT, MOM!!"//adults: "Such unassuming, cutesy birds!")?

Though, as the heat index rises, I begin to wonder if the movie studios are not just simply taunting us with visions of cold and ice. "Don't you wish you had a piece of this ice to cool your heat-addled brain?! DON'T YOU?! Buy our movie."

Clearly the penguins are a method of mass mind control. With their little suits. They are secret service agents invading every aspect of our lives.

It does not work on my mind! Oh sadness. I will be forced to flee and become badass in order to fight off the hordes of brainwashed penguin zombies, but even then I will lose because I can't fight the world!!!

And like all zombie movies, it will end badly and the zombies will win. Woe.
