It’s kind of funny. SoCal Edison has a long running ad campaign where friendly squirrels traipse around the south land reminding somewhat bemused residents not to do stupid shit like walking across the lawn with a hissing power line downed on it, letting a mylar balloon fly up to a transformer, and (everyone’s favorite) putting a tree trimmer too close to wires. They’re sickeningly cute, with their hipster bow ties. Presumably, they’re the ideal spokesmascots because everyone sees those little shits running around, miraculously avoiding divine retribution as the jump from power line to power line.
Apparently Ohio squirrels aren’t being paid enough by AEP, so they’re resorting to TikTok challenges. Ghosty rolls over thinking it was high time those little fuckers found out.
