On a related note, PETA wants Punxsutawney to replace the groundhog with "a cutting-edge animatronic groundhog that could actually predict the weather using artificial intelligence instead."
Punxsutawney Groundhog Club president Bill Deeley talked to the Punxsutawney Spirit late Tuesday and said he had not read PETA’s letter, but he would “invite them to come to Punxsutawney and see how Phil is treated.”
”As I’ve said in the past, Phil lives better than the average child in Western Pennsylvania,” Deeley said.
The letter, signed by PETA president Ingrid Newkirk, says “an AI Phil would renew interest in Punxsutawney, generating a great deal of buzz.”
“Today’s young people are born into a world of terabytes, and to them, watching a nocturnal rodent being pulled from a fake hole isn’t even worthy of a text message,” the letter goes on to say.
Deeley claimed “PETA wants to piggyback off of his (Phil’s) fame for their own publicity” and added “I think the crowd for this year’s Groundhog Day could be one of the largest ever.”

Ok. I have some really strong feelings here and I might be a little more involved in this than most people because I was born nearish there and that's one of my favorite movies.
But wtf. I get it. I'm almost a vegan and I don't go to SeaWorld but really?!!! This is too much. -

Yeah! I don't want accurate weather predictions!
Actually a robot one might be righteous because you could interact with it. They could have it out all year and it could give information…
But it's a tradition and…a stupid mystical myth. It seems wrong to mess with it. Unless the ground hog is
really

It's the best! I went through a period of just watching groundhog's day and the burbs.
Did you see the Jeep commercial where they brought back bill Murray's character from groundhog's day? I was so upset because I thought there was going to be a sequel! I literally screamed and put my hands over my mouth. But it was just a Jeep commercial!!! The audacity!
Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't.
