Ahhh. The dramatic chipmunk which took the web by storm about 8 months ago was a simple video of a chipmunk (turns out it was a prairie dog ) turning to look at the camera with dramatic music playing. This must have come from some Japanese gameshow. If anyone knows of the original source of the footage let me know in the comment section.

I’d love to have an original! Do you have any more prints for sale, at least?
