Meanwhile, The Philadelphia Inquirer wonders if the video is the stupidest use of taxpayers’ money—$4,157, to be exact—in the history of the world.

Go, G-Hog. (And thank you, MetaFilter.)

Idolator's Maura Johnston had my favorite zinger on this one:

"With the right collaborators and a Pitchfork nod, that $4,000 groundhog could become the next Dan Deacon!"

Oh, snap!

Clearly, this ad is getting some level of attention. $4200 seems a steal for that.

It's seriously not any worse than anything Vice records has put out. pretty incredible considering half of that $4k probably went to the groundhog suit.

46-year-old women obviously think people in their early 20s are complete idiots. Why do they want to hire them?
