Groundhog Suicide Case: The Jury's Verdict in In!

Wednesday, March 15, 2023

Blazing Reader:

Rather than expressing disgust and horror with the suicide scenes from the movie Groundhog Day in my son's "Covidian Lies" music video, people said I didn't include deathly images.

There were many requests for the scene (pictured above) where Bill Murray drives off the side of a cliff with the town's mascot at the steering wheel. "Don't drive angry!" he says to the abducted groundhog before both fall to their death at the bottom of a quarry (only, of course, to wake up again the next day alive and well).

In my last post, I surveyed subscribers asking if they thought such scenes were inappropriate, insensitive or too shocking for the music video. Here are some of the many responses:

"No, you didn't go too far, and I say that as someone who lost one of my best high school friends to suicide back in the late 90s." — Alan D.

"That is probably the best caricature of suicide you could possibly have chosen. I lost my mother to suicide and I did not find it the least offensive.... Most disturbing are the clips of real children being swabbed and jabbed."—Dianne

"The 'suicide scenes' depict a small taste of what the plandemic has caused for many... people need to wake up to the reality that depopulation was and is part of the plan. I don't believe that you went too far..."—Diane Bell

"I wasn't offended, but there will always be someone who IS offended."—Judy Hansen

"It's time people realize the truth and sometimes the truth isn't pretty, but it's necessary. Keep it just the way you have it."—Bridget Braun

"No, I didn't think the video went too far with the suicide scenes... What disturbed me the most and made me close my eyes were the scenes of little kids being vaxxed.... I squeezed my eyes shut with those scenes."—MaryAnn

"I enjoyed this immensely and was not the slightest bit offended or upset... I was born in the 50s you see"—Beryl1955

"Oddly, [the suicide] images don't do anything to me.... I cringed when I saw the sticks going up children's noses."—Tulasi Siva

Of course, that's all from a jury of my peers. I'm sure a woke mob would already have me burning at the stake (or maybe they'd just give me a few rounds of mRNA boosters).

Now, since you all could handle the Punxsutawney groundhog death scene, you'll likely love The Babylon Bee's recent skit: Pfizer Unable to Finish Press Conference as Spokespeople Keep Collapsing

Stay sane & keep laughin',

PS That Babylon Bee anti-Pfizer skit has been available on YouTube for 12 days now with over half-a-million views. Yet YouTube banned Jonah's music video within 12 hours of its release for making "claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus." What's up with that? Fortunately you can still watch "Covidian Lies" on Rumble or Bitchute.
