Those penguins aren't holding up the the Christian ideals of fidelity 
and marriage?  What am I supposed to tell my kids now?  Penguins are 
like Mommy and Daddy?  They really looked up to those cute guys 
struggling in that harsh and dangerous Arctic world?  Who will their 
roll models be now?  Maybe it was only a contextual error.  They 
really do mate for life but for the sake of the survival of the group 
they must make babies with other penguins too.  They don't like it 
but it's the only way in such a harsh environment.
