response to eric bryant

In response to my blog about Groundhog's day being the funniest American holiday becuase it revolved around a rodent, Eric Bryant quickly pointed out that Easter (the secularized version) is also somewhat about a rodent and therefore deserving of notice for its hilarity.

I agree with Eric about the Easter bunny. I think the whole idea is ridiculous. A giant bunny that delivers candy is pretty far out...who thought of that in the first place? The whole idea used to freak me out as a kid. I mean what if the bunny got mad...that thing could be easily big enough to bite off an arm or something. Think about it. Innocent children being subjected to something potentially dangerous. We even teach them to go and sit on the lap of strangers (but only if they are dressed in ridiculous outfits kids). Otherwise it could be dangerous. What are we teaching our children? Don't go to that stranger unless they look stupid and I am taking a picture of you! Then it's perfectly fine! "No little Billy, that man is dangerous because he looks normal. This person is fine becuase they are desperate enough to wear a giant pink bunny outfit and have strange kids sit on their laps all day, plus all the other little kids are doing it....say cheese!"
