Celebrating Easter the only way I know how-Media Saturation of Bunnies

Jews, as Denis Leary says, are a bottle of whiskey from being Irish Catholic (same guilt, same bad food, though I maintain hell hath no fury like the Jewish mother). But since I don't celebrate Easter, I will instead show you as many cultural remnants of bunnies I can think of.

Photo-A rather large rabbit, used to feed North Korea, apparently (though seriously, if the North Koreans dropped killer rabbits on us instead of nuclear bombs, I'd be more likely to submit to Kim Jong-Il).


Theater-From the sick minds of University of Chicago we get the Kurt Weill-esque "Don't Be The Bunny," from the Tony-award winning musical Urinetown:

Film: I was going to with Harvey, a Jimmy Stewart classic, but since that movie never actually shows you the bunny, I ultimately had to settle for Donnie Darko (for the record, no I don't like this movie, and if you do, you're most likely in the 11th grade).

Music: Echo and the Bunnymen, and their hit song "Killing Moon." Like Donnie Darko, the Bunnymen became icons to emo teenagers. Don't know what it is about bunnies and emo kids.




Television: Mr. Floppy from the ranty '90s television show Unhappily Ever After. The show itself was a poor man's Married...with Children, and the notion of a right-wing talking bunny is typical of bad '90s TV, but this clip is worth it just to hear the voice of Bobcat Goldthwait. I could seriously listen to that man's voice all day.
