Hasta La Creative!

Up the punx! … sutawney. Feb. 2 was the day of the annual epic showdown between Phil the groundhog and his shadow, and ad agency Red Tettemer and Pennsylvania’s tourism board documented it with Groundhog Duel. It’s quite an endearing look at one of our nation’s more ludicrous pastimes, and a slick Web site to boot. It’s just a shame that there wasn’t really, you know, a duel. Phil and his shadow rode to Punxsutawney on the same bus, did some weird mirroring routine that looked like the Hokie Pokie, and that was it—six more weeks of winter. Of course, they could have been conserving their energy for Feb. 5.
