Ohio Prosecutor seeks death penalty for Punxsutawney Phil

Lol poor Phil.

As severe cold grips the eastern U.S. on March 21, Punxsutawney Phil’s forecast for an early spring is best described as an epic failure. The prosecuting attorney of Butler County, Ohio, Michael Gmoser, wants the groundhog to pay for his flawed prediction, with his life.

Gmoser filed an indictment against Phil which reads accordingly:
On or about February 02,2013, at Gobbler’s Knob, Punxsutawney Phil did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the people to believe that Spring would come early. Contrary to the Groundhog day report, a snowstorm and record low temperatures have been and are predicted to continue in the near future, which constitutes the offense of MISREPRESENTATION OF EARLY SPRING, a Unclassified Felony, and against the peace and dignity of the State Of Ohio.

Perjury charges would be funnier.

This death penalty thing is kinda over the line of good taste, and puts me in the "wtf, did you not have a JOB to do?!" camp.

He's a bout a week too early in filing.

Well, that rodent will be solely responsible for the genicide of all the woodchuck on my property this year! New scope and I'm teaching the kids to shoot the bastards! ~24 inches of snow in the last 48 hours!

Is it really Gobbler's Knob? Really?

Well how do you think he got famous? It sure wasn't accurate weather forecasting.

Reminds me of the Fairly OddParents episode where the weatherman kept having to be replaced because a mob of angry viewers took offense to their incorrect predictions.

Oh god, don't give the government any ideas. They'll hold senate hearings over this shit.

A friend of mine, who has tasted more animals than anyone I know, says that groundhogs are the best.

I had eaten ground hog meat once, and was surprised how much I like it. The fat and the tiny glands need to be removed, to avoid a strong, gamey smell to the meat.

Sadly it looks like the pressure got to him and he took his own life:

Apparently the heat from being completely wrong about that "early spring" prediction finally took its toll on The Groundhog...this just in from Punxsutawney....
