Very good, Debk....... How about Christmas?

And Ptarmigan..... all that sounds like a bittersweet end to a  relationship. Did your bunny leave you?

The bunny went straight to Hell.

The Easter Bunny Must Die

Among the peeves I keep as pets, chief is my loathing of the Easter Bunny.  There are many reasons to hate the Bunny.  I will get into why in particular the Bunny, but first to some other pressing business.

Why is it that religious holidays require mascots to make them palatable to secularists who otherwise wouldn’t give a fig about the celebration?  While some mascots are cool in their own right, most add nothing and typically detract from the holiday’s expressed purpose.

Take the leprechaun.  Actually, don’t take the leprechaun. I am pretty sure that taking a leprechaun is bad luck.  But the leprechaun as a symbol of St. Paddy’s Day?  A hard-drinking short guy consumed with greed is not a good mascot for a celebration of a great saint’s feast day.  A good mascot for Christopher Hitchens’ Day perhaps, but not for St. Patrick’s Day.

Need I say more about the Easter Bunny. Someone agrees with me. The Easter Bunny is a filthy ptarmigan killing and oppressing sodomite. All bunnies are filthy bloodthirsty beasts and thugs.

I like his chocolate though...

Hate the beast but love the chocolate - can we do that?

(BTW - you are so fracking funny with this - soooo glad to see you made it over from CU!)

Easter...... Derived from the word "Este", the pagan goddess of fertility, hence the ptarmigans and rabbit symbols.
Rabbits and ptarmigans were throat-cut and the blood sprinkled across the fields to promote fertility in the crops.
The ritual coincided with the Catholic Church's day that Christ arose from the dead. So what, you say?

The Catholics were no fools. Since the fertility rite was virtually on top of the celebrated Catholic holiday, they joined the two so as to get more people into church. Over time, it worked.
Ever wonder about Christmas and Halloween?
