Secret Life of Emperor Penguins

So I was walking through one mall to get to a food court behind another mall (air conditioning helps in this heat) on Orchard Road, and see this next to a key copy kiosk.

Clearly someone is having a bathroom/cigarette/lunch break during a shift. And yes, I was very VERY tempted to take it for a future party... and no, I did not.

After lunch, I dodge the tourists and locals walking on Orchard Road and see the working penguin.

At this point, I had such a pity for the working penguin since it was boiling hot and he/she had to hold the hand of a handler (in a similarly coordinated black/red t-shirt and yellow cap, but no penguin-wear) to walk about.

I wondered, 'Why is there a penguin on a tropical island?'

Then the handler's t-shirt back side revealed that "March of the Penguins" was coming to theaters near me. Lovely. Promotions here seem to be a throwback to the 80's when I remember giant Hot Dogs or some kind of a Fruit-person handing out flyers in the New York City streets.
