They whipped the rabbit?!? Thursday, April 08, 2004 Sometimes I think that typos appear by themselves, ages after the post has been put up and the writer was sure all was well. May be they're like rabbits. Which reminds me. One of the local churches here had a little Easter play. They invited all the little kids to come and watch what most parents probably thought was a warm and fuzzy Jesus loves you affirming play that would get their kiddies in the mood for egg hunting and candy and pastel colored clothing. Image their surprise when the performaers began smashing easter eggs, whipping the Easter bunny, and chanting, "There is no Easter Bunny." No. I'm not joking. It's so funny on one hand, (I hear Elmer Fudd singing "I whipped the Whabbit" along to the tune of "Flight of the Valkiries") but so depressing, all at once. I mean, the person who thought this was a good idea must secretly hate children. Oh! Here's a quote from a newspaper: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.asp?brd=1282 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Easter event offends some in attendance By DAVID WHIPKEY, Daily News Staff Writer What was supposed to be an Easter celebration for children reportedly turned into a demonstration of how Jesus Christ was crucified. Several area residents were outraged by a performance sponsored by Glassport Assembly of God church Saturday at Memorial Stadium. "It was absolutely horrendous," Melissa Salzmann said. "We left after about 45 minutes, it was so bad." Residents quote performers as saying, "There is no Easter Bunny" and breaking eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt. A portrayal of the Easter Bunny being whipped and tortured as the 12 stations of the cross reportedly was part of the show. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 1:33 PM 0 comments
