What does Arkansas think? Here are some Facebook comments and tweets
* “Looks like the Chucky cheese guy fell on hard times”
* “How are we ever going to overcome the Hillbilly Image with this??”
* “Our state took 4 steps back with this fiasco.”
* “Correct me if I’m wrong but when confronted aren’t opossum notorious for playing dead?”
* “concerned that thing will freak the kids out. Way scary looking.”
* “the swamp possum is stupid. If you wanted to stereotype Arkansas, a toothless meth head would be less offensive.”
* “Geezus that thing is ugly”
