The Fuzzy Morality Of The Duck Fashion Parade
Duck fashion parade!
As the one YouTube commenter on this video points out, "This should be illegal due to selfish inconsiderate reasons." That almost makes sense! Obviously, that duck bride is miserable. And certainly humankind has a long history of unconscionable cruelty towards animals that is only now getting better, with the punishment and reform of Michael Vick probably. But then you have to think, on the one hand, yes, this duck suffered needlessly and probably isn't even really getting married, but on the other hand, look how much pleasure it brings to us! We love it! Haha, someone wrap a glass in a napkin so this duck can break it! Who is right and who is wrong in this situation?
It's like that old morality question: if you were conducting a train, and up ahead there was a switch in the tracks, and if you went one way you would kill 10 ducks, but if you went the other way, you would kill only one duck wearing a wedding gown, which path would you take? You can use scratch paper. The answer after the jump.
A: it's a false moral equivalency, because ultimately no single life is more important than hahaha, look at that duck! It is cute but also sad. Duck fashion parade! (Thanks for the tip, Edith.)

It breaks my heart to see what's supposed to be this duck's perfect day ruined when she found out her father would not escort her down the aisle because he did not approve of her boyfriend. And all the wedding guests just laugh while she searches for father and convinces herself that he's just runnign late. :( :( :(

As a proud supporter of Duck Marriage Rights, I applaud this.
Score = 20
Duck marriage is not consistent with the Judeo-Christian values this country was founded on. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate ducks (some of my best friends are ducks), but civil-unions for ducks provide the same rights without polluting the word "marriage".
Not to mention that allowing duck marriage would be a slippery-slope. If ducks are allowed to marry, what's next? A duck marrying a lump of dirt, that's what. Soon, we'd have marriages between heaps of broken glass and habanero peppers and the world would descend into chaos.
But again, I don't hate ducks, and I don't judge them. That's up to God to do.

Yeh, but Matthew states that 'God looked upon his ducks and said "thou shalt be joined in holy matrimony and dressed in satin dresses in front of vacuous eyes". How can you use the God argument? Ignorance like yours should not be tolerated. I mean I'm not some pseudo-hippie Liberal but I do believe that Ducks should be treated the same as everyone else, and in all states. If Texas can get behind, why can't the rest of the world?! Some of your best friends are ducks? Some friend you are turning out to be.

Last night I had a duck and bacon (It's good for me!) sausage at this restaurant , but before I ate it, I dressed it up in caramelized onions, sweet peppers, and mustard, and I brought it around the restaurant, showing everyone how pretty it looked before eating it in five bites. Who's right in this situation? Who's wrong? I don't know.

If you could speak fluent quack, your duck would tell you that you're a freak and an asshole. And also that bunting is passe.
