the dark side of Easter: a visit with the Easter Bunny

Unlike Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny didn't make pre-holiday visits when I was a child. Or if he did, I never had the opportunity to sit and chat with him. And I'm thankful for that. It might have scarred me for life. Because these are creatures that have undoubtedly spawned untold childhood trauma.


Sure, some appear innocent enough.



While others can't disguise their malevolence.




Some travel alone.



While others are accompanied by equally disturbing "friends".



And despite attempts to project a friendly image through the media.



They can't completely mask the evil within . . .



. . . which has been observed to manifest itself in threats of physical aggression.



Even pets are not safe. It's okay little fella. Keep telling yourself: "He's a vegetarian. He's a vegetarian."



the horror continues . . .

Hee hee hee hee hee :)

Someone, somewhere, made those mascots thinking they looked like friendly fuzzy bundles of love.

And then someone else purchased them, thinking the same thing.

The great thing, Mr. M., is that they hardly needed any commentary at all. They spoke for themselves!

You do realize the Easter bunny is real, right? No joke. I'll be posting something about my experience with him closer to Easter.

Dracenea - Thanks for the warning. I wonder if I'm eligible for the witness protection program.

LOL! Very, very funny. I just got done with our annual Easter Egg Hunt at work. We have a new bunny suit this year, because the last one scared the kids.

Seriously, one school borrowed if from us one year, and when the called to borrow it again, they asked if we got a new one. When we said "no" - he said....nevermind.

It was that evil looking.

One of the girls here wore it as a Halloween costume last year :) I will send her a link to this blog :)

At our local mall they advertise that you can bring your child to meet the Easter Bunny - but after seeing this! NO WAY! Thanks for the warning! (and the good laugh!)
