??Ducks??

So what is the deal with the ducks. First off Kimmer is very suspicious of duck avatars. You can get your duck avatars here, thanks to Kimkins Dangers.

Many will not understand the reasoning behind ducks—why them in particular. Ducks are the universal symbol of quackery.

Quackery is a derogatory term used to describe questionable medical practices. According to Random House Dictionary, a “quack” is considered a “fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill” or “a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan.”It is defined as the “medical practice and advice based on observation and experience in ignorance of scientific findings. The dishonesty of a charlatan.”

Then we have the term “duckspeak”. Duckspeak is a Newspeak term meaning literally to quack like a duck or to speak without thinking.

Wouldn’t you all agree that Kimmer most definitely fits these guidelines.

Support the cause. Show your duck pride. Grab one of the avatars.

Here are some duck avatars also. Please right click and save to your own computer. Please do not hot link. As I find more on the net will add them here.
