A tongue-in-cheek "anti-cute" collection based on the successful blog contains one-third original photographs of cloyingly adorable animals from fluffy bunnies to baby pandas paired with bitingly sarcastic commentary. Original.

I took F U, Penguin: Telling Cute Animals What's What by Matthew Gasteier from a recent BookCrossing meeting. The book was introduced with a story of misunderstanding and embarrassment. Being somewhat of an addict of cuteness on the internet, and a firm believer that the web is made up of cats (and possibly penguins, for those running Linux), I had to take the book home.

It became my just before bed book for about a week. My husband can attest to the fact that I laughed at nearly every page and read about a third of the book out loud to him. I don't think he quite appreciated the ridiculousness of this book but I adored it.

I wish the Fuck You, Penguin blog was still being updated but that stopped in 2009. As an alternate, I suggest Cats Where They Do Not Belong. I suggest reading FU Penguin after reading Expletive Deleted by Ruth Wajnryb (review coming).
