I don't know about you, but I think that Groundhog Day is a little exploitative. I mean, did the groundhogs ask to be weather forecasters? Do they get paid? Are there benefits? I'm sure they'd appreciate a good dental plan. This shit is oppressive, people. Where's PETA on the issues that really matter? There's an opportunity here for a really great campaign featuring a naked, chained woman crawling out of a hole, isn't there?
Someone needs to get on this. Unless there's going to be six more weeks of winter, in which case, to hell with the groundhogs.
In my blog about groundhogs today, I concluded that PETA is the Union for the Groundhogs.

Apparently groundhogs are treated pretty damn well as "weather forecasters"

It's OK: They do think it's exploitation

My question is, how long after Phil is released will he be run over by a semi? And is that cruelty or is that just nature's way?

PETA is already on board, you just need to convince them about the naked, chained woman ad.

Am I the only one who thinks that first groundhog looks like he needs a hug?
