The entire state having clotted its brain with cheesesteak grease is perhaps the only thing that can truly explain “one of the strangest uses of $4,157 in taxpayer money in Pennsylvania history.” Ladies and gents, presenting “a 6-foot groundhog rapping on the merits of choosing a career in the health professions,” sure to brighten your day.
“These occupations not only promise the opportunity to save and improve lives, but they pay well and there are plenty of openings and chances to advance,” Gov. Rendell said in a news release touting the video, in which he makes a freakish animatronic cameo.
“And who’s better than a giant rapping groundhog to get the attention of young people?”
I have never been prouder to come from Pennsylvania.
Rapping G-Hog Got This To Say [Philadelphia Inquirer]
Did I detect some Pittsburgh accents in the backing vocals?
Aw, man, we’re not going to end up with a whole East/West feud of rapping Pennsylvanian groundhogs, are we?
Represent, Gus, represent.
@MameDennis: That’s one rap feud I’d like to see!
He’s right, you know. Helping people IS cool.
IN THE FUTURE…
Pennsylvania healthcare will be carried out exclusiveley by 6 year olds and very committed stoners.
That really hits the sweet spot of prospective health care professionals/furries & plushies.
Those backup dancers are HOTTTTTTTTTTTTXXXXXXXX!! By which I mean I wish they had spent the extra $7.99 and gotten hot pink t-shirts made at the mall that said “G-Hog’s Girlz!!” in one of those glittery puffy-paint fonts?
Pretend I ended that sentence with a period and not a question mark.
Am I the only one that thinks those hottt back-up dancers are chanting “go jihad, go jihad?”
As long as the Running of The Cheesesteaks happens every year, the rapping groundhog will always have work.
Punxsutawney is the new Oak-town, boyz!
