No More Easter Bunny

Well, it happened. You knew it was going to. It did.

In a continuation of one of the most asinine trends that I have ever witnessed, malls are now shopping around for new things to call their Easter Bunnies. Why? Because Easter is a Christian holiday, and we can't have Christian holidays mentioned by name, can we?

Forget the fact that its a giant rabbit passing out multicolored pastel eggs made of chocolate and other candy. Forget the fact that this is more detached from Christianity than Jerry Falwell. It has the word Easter in it, so it must die.

Tooth decay bunny? Sugar high bunny? Commercialism rabbit? Eatme bunny? Rotten rodent? Carrot eater? Dinner?

Sigh. The Easter Bunny is about as pagan a symbol there is.

Question: Why does the Easter bunny hide her eggs?
Answer: She doesn't want anybody to know she's been screwing chickens!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Delete if need be...

Eatme bunny?


They would probably have a problem with this...it suggests sexual relations of a non-procreative sort between people and rabbits.

The Christians stole our pagan ritual, but we had it first, so maybe it's not right to call it a Christian holiday. In fact, that's the solution - just require public disclosure that the bunny is a pagan icon having nothing to do with Jesus and go right on about your business handing out fertility symbols.

Problem solved.
