Bob Saget, farceur, pokes fun at penguins

Far left: Penguin poses with Big Jay Oakerson at Rascals in Cherry Hill last night. Near left: Cover of DVD of Bob Saget‘s “Farce of the Penguins,” in which Saget, with the help of Samuel L. Jackson, Lewis Black, Mo’Nique and others, manages to find the lewd in docu sensation “March of the Penguins.” According to Wikipedia, Saget…

…stated on the Howard Stern Show on January 29th, 2007 and Late Night with Conan O’Brien on January 30, 2007 that he originally wanted to simply redub the documentary March of the Penguins but did not receive permission from the filmmakers.

In late November, the film, sourced from a screening, was leaked on the internet. There has been no response from the production company as of yet.

The occasion for the frivolity at left (a tremendous penguins suit, btw!), was the launch of the campaing to promote the DVD release.
