the Outer Limits: Groundhog goes Digital....

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA is known for their infamous Groundhog Day celebration where "Phil" predicts our weather future. Its tradition for this town and for as long as I've known it has always been that way but ummm ALL OF A SUDDEN....this year, PETA is proposing a robotic groundhog that replaces Phil. They claim there is no reason to keep him captive to only subject him to bright lights and huge crowds. Even though, Phil is kept in a climate-controlled area and is inspected on an annual basis by the state Department of Agriculture. Even, William Deeley, president of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, says the animal is "being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania." LOL! I'm not even gonna touch that.


Anyhoot, these PETA activists are clearly bored and have nothing else to fight for....who cares about Polar Bears and Penguins when a groundhog is running the show....Nevertheless, I wonder how PETA plans on getting Phil out of there??? I wonder if they will do like Bill Murray did in this clip from Groundhog Day......ENJOY!
