March of the penguins…
26 September 2007

… I donno, I know a lot of families like this, especially around Houston. And Houston is over 50 percent “Hispanic,” while the percentage of New Zealanders (“La Cucaracha” has been replaced by a cartoon from New Zealand about penguins) is… uh… uh… dang, I’m not sure, somewhere in the low 0.0001s at least.
Somehow, I don’t think it was demographics that drove the Chron’s decision, but I could be wrong ….
