You know what? Be whatever level of stupid you are comfortable with. It's hot out and it's a Friday and it is essentially summer. These are penguins, dressed like soccer players, moving a ball around. I think that's pretty much all the explanation you need, right? Enjoy. Or don't. It is completely your call.

They forgot to wear their pants. Oh yeah, it's hot out.
I can't stand mascots who only wear shirts. When I see that all I immediately think of is why aren't they wearing pants? You'd think a spokesbeast for a major brand could afford pants.
Rooney's looking pretty good. However Sven-Göran Eriksson has to do some serious work on the goal.
I believe that's David James on goal.
He's doing surprisingly well, considering the heat.
"essentially summer"
Uh huh, that's right, you know who can suck it buster, etc.
No fair, I saw one penguin use it's finstump.
And the males walked all the way to South Africa (though they didn't know why!)except when they had to swim.
Glad to see them playing and practicing on natural grass. Would hate to see one blow out a knee on artificial turf.
This is too hard to follow: Which of the teams are the implied homosexuals because of their inability to push a ball the right way on a field of play? Which of the penguins is dating a model? Too confusing.
I'm concerned that a woman who is clearly British did not refer to it as 'football.'
Hot? Essentially summer?! So there is a sun somewhere? Oh god please someone help me.

I loved Deadspin's headline for this: "Soccer-Playing Penguins Adorable, Terrible At Soccer"
This video closes the book on whether penguins are gay or not.
Oh god, that was totally me in middle school.
