The OH has to keep abreast of what is happening in popular culture & the news as part of his job, which means he often has to read the tabloids. Honestly, we aren't normally Sun readers.
This morning, he read out to me a story from The Sun about Peta Docherty feeding a joint to a penguin at a zoo. This is one of the most ridiculous articles ever (although the report that Billie Piper had smiled in the free papers last week was pretty bad). The story was pretty standard tabloid/Docherty fodder. It was a terrible juvenile thing to do and I wondered why he wasn't arrested on the spot by the branch of the police force that seems to specialise in arresting him?(He also seems to have his own chamber of judges to counteract this who pretty much let him off with whatever he is arrested for).
The Sun had kindly mocked up a picture of a penguin smoking which I'm sure most of its readers needed to help them understand the story.
Apparently it is very dangerous for the poor penguin. The article claimed that this behaviour would 'anger fans of the recent animated film, Happy Feet'. No, surely it would upset anyone who likes animals/doesn't like moronic musicians.
I'm all for people in bands behaving in a 'rock 'n' roll' way but really, he just plain stupid. I don't think Mick and Keith would have done something like this.

Sam (I had to post as anon cos blogger beta is being an arse about letting mr log in!)
I like penguins. I don't like Doperty.
There's a special place in Hell for people who are cruel to animals....and for moronic musicians. If you are both, you get the VIP room there!
Sanddancer I've just seen your handbag ticker- 14 days?! Is that all?
Not necessarily anymore - see new post for details.
