Kill Da Wabbit

Good morning, my little droogies. Not sure what to make of this, but I present it as a token of the ever-changing Theatre of Life and all that that implies:

East Valley Tribune (Arizona)

Hare-raising plot on Web
By Katie McDevitt, For the Tribune
Animal rights advocates want a Scottsdale-based company to shut down a Web site that threatens to kill a bunny if it doesn’t receive $50,000 from the public.

The story goes on to describe the anonymous fellow who has a website featering Toby, a pet rabbit that he intends to kill, cook, and eat, if people do not give him $50,000. If it's a spoof, it's a pretty good one. If the guy's just a sicky, he's a pretty sick one. But who knows?

Save Toby

One thing for sure, I'm not giving this clown any money. I have seen too many "Simpsons" episodes - I expect the website to shortly turn into a grand-opening publicity stunt for a shopping mall.

It also reminds me of the old "Buy this magazine or we'll kill this dog" National Lampoon magazine cover from the early 1970's.



In any case, we're all going straight to hell. If I were an alien overlord, orbiting high over the earth right now in an intergalactic battle cruiser with the power to devastate worlds, I'd fry us without a second thought. And we'd have it coming, too.

All I can hear is Bugs Bunny singing "Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit.." over and over again, as I slip slowly into my working day. I reach for a hammer and . . .

Smooches,

Wiggy
