Ha! McSweeney’s is compiling a list of “Open Letters to People or Entities who are Unlikely to Respond.”
An Open Letter to Penguins
Dear Penguins, I would like to apologize on behalf of my species for making fun of you….I’d like to start by saying that we realize that you are not actually wearing tuxedos. We don’t quite understand the evolutionary purpose of your black-and-white color scheme, so we have simply said that you wear tuxedos to be funny….Second, the polka music. We do in fact realize that this music is not playing all the time in Antarctica. (Likewise, we are also aware that polar-bear habitats do not feature naturally occurring tuba music.)”
