There are many famous people in the world, but there is only one famous floppy-eared dancing penguin. That would be the character you see to the right, Mr. Tomy the Dancing penguin.
Mr. Tomy became internationally famous as a dancing penguin, but he now has his own late night talk show, owns several small West African countries which he helps as part of an international effort to help tormented penguins there deal with their problems. He has also founded the "Mr. Tomy Baby Penguin Foundation For Sick and Trouble Young Penguins" (MTBPFFSATYP). He is loved worldwide for his inner strength to rise above all the torment of his youth and become a big star.
As a child, Mr. Tomy was horribly tormented by the other young penguins because he had been born with large floppy ears. None of the other penguins had floppy ears and they thought that poor Mr. Tomy looked comical with them. They would call him cruel names like "Floppy Ear Penguin" and "That Penguin With The Long Ears". Mr. Tomy somehow persevered and never became bitter or resentful. He and his family lived in the northern tip of Antarctica. They didn't have very much money, so they couldn't have anything surgically done for Mr. Tomy's ears. When Mr. Tomy did get a lot of money and could have afforded to have his ears fixed, he chose not to as a reminder to all the freaks of nature out there that if he could make it, then they could too. Meanwhile, however, the tormenting continued.
In 1971 Mr. Tomy's family was evicted from their small home in Antarctica. And so they joined with thousands of other penguins and left the barren lands of Antarctica to the emperor penguins who persecuted them. So Mr. Tomy who was only seven years old left with his family to form a better life in the United States of America. They were forced to live in a run down penguin getto and Mr. Tomy was tormented by the penguins there too for having long ears. Mr. Tomy and his family struggled to survive for several years until Mr. Tomy left the getto and broke into showbiz in 1985. He didn't have a glamorous job, but he survived as a lounge dancer in Las Vegas, sending any extra money back to his family in the getto. He remained an unnoticed talent for several years and hung out with some bad penguins. In 1990 he spent a short time in jail and when he emerged he was a changed penguin. Soon after, he got his real break when he got an appearance on the David Letterman show. After that there was a great demand for dancing penguins, and ironically especially those with long floppy ears. Soon he was doing very classy clubs and even did a few movies. Now in 1996 he is a household name and he still dances in stadiums across the country.
