Gus the Groundhog Has Got to Go!
I said it with Hip Hop the Sixers Mascot and I’ll say it again with Gus the Groundhog - he’s gotta go! Gus the Groundhog, the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania, the mascot for the Pennsylvania Lottery, and an irritating creature, is beyond creepy. Couldn’t they have made Gus a cute lovable creature, like the groundhog in Caddyshack? Instead they made him look like a rodent! Granted, groundhogs are rodents, but I don’t need to be reminded of this while relaxing at home watching TV!
I think I’ve said enough.

The average life span of a ground hog is 5 years - Gus is so close to dying naturally, and you sadistically start a campaign to euthanize the creature, He smells, but so do french people. Gus left his den of darkness, went against the grain to get his SAG card, become an actor, and support his gambling habit - he deserves the chance to go out on his terms. In ground hog day - Bill Murray took him over the ledge - literally. Most people found that funny, but me - I saw the fear in Gus’s little beady eyes - the emotionn and projection made me whimper my way to sleep that night. You see a creepy furry little sub human creature, I am one generation from people who ate his kind for dinner - I feel the guilt that only a repressor can feel. Free Gus from the persecution of your priveleged white Generation Y emotional detachment from nature - can’t we all just get along?
