So I was at Meijer the other day for a hair straightener, but found something that really did disturb me. Why have he hit the point where Easter needs to be perverted by this?
Now I understand that this Meijer was 5 miles away from Detroit. But still. What the fuck is this? It’s one thing to completely distort and commercialize a holiday, turning it into a place where children worship candy instead of religion. But at what level do you decide it’s acceptable to pervert the thing that perverts the holiday?
We already know that the Easter bunny can be more frightening than Santa, Leprechauns, Indians, or flying naked dudes that shoot people with arrows.But in all honesty, why did we have to give him some gaudy gold chain with a beany? That shit is just uncalled for. And to top it off, look at his eyes: the rabbit looks higher than a kite. But apparently it’s OK, because he’s made with real milk chocolate. Is it just me or does this cross the line between trying to hit your demographic and being just plain absurd?
Why can’t a rabbit just be a damn rabbit? Why does he have to be from the hood to get people to want to buy him? I mean, he’s already a cheap chocolate thing. What else is needed? Does this really work? Do black families actually buy this thing because they don’t want their children eating a “white” rabbit?
It boggles the mind.
