march of the penguins ad

I just saw an ad on TV for the DVD of March of the Penguins. The announce said, "This Tuesday, see how much fun it is to be a penguin!"

Has he seen the movie? If so, does he mean, "See how much fun: not fun at all."

What's not fun?

I've seen the movie. Walking 70 miles (on penguin legs, mind you), standing around for three months with no food, walking another 70 miles to eat, then walking back: what's not fun about that?

It has a nice YAPC feel about it though since everyone shows up at the same place.

nice metaphor.

but we have to ask the penguin whether it is fun or not. ;-) to me it's too much hardships, not that it's not worth it.

Maybe just maybe

The announcer just has a very sad meaningless existence?
