If I had $12,000 I could get rid of my crippling debt,and these fuckers spend it on luxury cruises that even destroy the ecosystem?

If that cruise ever sinks please tell me, it'll make my day.

Sex cruises to where? The complaints of shrinkage will be legendary.

Uh, that’s a whoosh, cap’n!

I didn’t have that one on my bingo card

Clever advertisement or what?

"... full-scale bonkathon"

I approve of this

That's a trash article, and Antarctica is the last place anyone should worry about cruises going unless they are chopping up penguins for bird-brunch or something.

If we're destroying the planet anyway, at least this is a more fun reason to do it.

so it'll be herpes that kills off the last few penguins? didn't have that on my bingo card...

You can die from herpes? Probably more likely to die from beastiality rape.

I was thinking cruise ship waste but uh.... yeah.... that'll probably fuck up a penguin

As a matter of fact, yes. I was talking to a vet at a friend's wedding, and he casually mentioned that working with simians is a dangerous field for many reasons that you wouldn't think of, like their herpesvirus strains killing us.

Luckily it says it’s extremely rare

Well, yeah. The only way to get it is from contact with an infected monkey, or something that has recently contacted them, like a needle.

With no end to deforestation in sight, and fixing the housing crisis, monkeys have been sharing crack houses with humans

What’s more natural than sex?
