Celebrate Feb. 2 with a plate of groundhog

Aw yeah, take a look at what’s about to claim a place alongside my coveted Alex Bogusky commemorative plate. This limited-edition homage to Pennsylvania's Groundhog & Shadow tourism campaign continues Red Tettemer’s impressive track record of bizarre promotional gimmicks—sausage foosball, cemetery toasters and topless staffers, just to name a few. If you weren’t one of the elite marketing bloggers to receive the groundhog plate, fear not. There’s one for sale on eBay. And judging from the fact that bidding was at $51 with eight days remaining on the auction, mine might be soon to follow.
