What the fuck is a uniqua?

I get the penguin. I get the moose. The kangaroo. Even the fat hippo chick. Poor girl. Of all the animals in the world, they make her a hippo. Must do wonders for her self esteem.

Anyhow, what's up with the pink bitch?

I'm too lazy to google it. I would rather write at length about my consternation at trying to figure out if she was some sort of slug creature, but ruled that out because a slug should realistically be tiny compared to the other characters, ignoring the fact that the moose is the same size as the penguin. Maybe it's a baby moose? Who knows? She's definitely not a slug though.

And what's up with the overalls? I find the show's inconsistent treatment of wardrobe highly troubling. Tasha gets a nice little dress, despite her weight problem. Uniqua gets overalls. Poor little Pablo is completely naked, save for a dinky little tie, like some third-rate Chippendale's dancer. Stay classy, Pablo. The other boys on the show at least get t-shirts, though their lack of pants is disturbing. Have they no embarassing boy-bits to keep covered up? The girls on the show are modestly dressed, but the boys are forced to cavort around exposing their moose-parts and kangaroo-bits? I'll tell you what that is. Sexism. Outright sexism.
