Thirteen odd pictures featuring ‘loveable’ Easter mascots

So, with all the hype surrounding easter and the prolific appearances of all the fuzzy little pagan-inspired mascots of fertility and fancified eggs, I figured I’d show you the dark side of some of these cute little critters, Thursday Thirteen style. What an eye-opener. I knew there was a reason we don’t have Easter baskets in our house, and this just confirms my fears. Enjoy my oddball sense of humor and don’t buy into the ‘holiday’, Jesus wants our service everyday and has set aside a special remembrance, every first day of the week, in the communion that He Himself instituted. Let’s give Him the service and remembrance He has asked for and leave the hype behind. Here’s the rather disturbing photo evidence of furry-creature mishaps at the highest levels –>
1. Happy Easter, now go out and sell your young at the nearest market.
2. We just hatched, now where’s the booze? Seriously people… WHERE ARE THE PARENTS? What is this world coming to?
3. OK. Am I the only one that’s a little creeped out by this picture? “Shush little bunnikins, it will only hurt for a second….”
4. Nothing says Good Friday like a good ol’ fashion cockfight. Before the cock crows thrice…
5. Not content with their banishment to semi-tacky suburban lawns, the gnomes launch a fiendish plan to take over the bunny’s sweet gig… now if they could just figure out how to lay those colored eggs…
6. Io and Ui don their “away team head gear” and instruct their flock on the proper way to contact the mother ship prior to drinking their ’special koolaid.’
7. NO JOEY! I said “NEVER feed them after midnight!”
8. Perfect mother hen, it was an over easy delivery… I mean easy delivery… got any more? I was hoping for omelets… er… I mean triplets… triplets…
9. I deliver eggs and chocolate people… NOT MAIL!!! Don’t make me go POSTAL!
10. All this time we thought that all the little fairy holiday creatures led a charmed life, turns out they’re just slaves to the timeclock like the rest of us ordinary folk. “So Cupid, How’s the wife? Little Jimmy still workin’ on that archery?”
11. AHHH! The giant birds caught us robbing their nest! The only thing that could possibly save us now are some high-voltage lines!
12. ‘Ello old Mum? What’s with the feathery bits? Is this one of those odd dreams we all have where your mother is a giant chicken…. whatdya mean you never have that dream….
13. I specifically asked for cadbury eggs and you bring me PEEPS!!! That’s it you wascaly wabbit, you’re roadkill!!!
I hope everyone goes to church this Lord’s Day because that’s what we ought to do EVERY Sunday, not because of some hyped up ‘holy day’! The resurrection was a pivotal, amazing, earth-shattering event, but it’s just as amazing the other 364 days a year, don’t get caught up in the hype, get caught up in the truth of what the resurrection means to your salvation, and the hope that we too can ascend to such great heights one day!
Praying for chocolate lovers everywhere,

These are beautiful examples of vintage, Victorian era art. They aren’t things that need to be bashed. I’m sorry you are so angry and hateful and don’t have peace. Jesus would not be so hateful to others. We don’t all share your slanted views on the world. :???:

Belle,
Some took this post as it was meant to be… humorous. Some, like yourself, obviously saw it differently. Much like the “beautiful examples of art” you speak of, I guess the beauty of art and the effectiveness of humor all lies within the eye of the beholder. Sorry you don’t find me funny and hope I didn’t throw too big of a hitch into your giddy-up… as to your throwing me under the bus and calling me unChristlike because you don’t find me funny… personally, I think Jesus could handle my humor better than he could handle pagan symbols overruning a Holiday that is presumably supposed to be about Him… but I could be wrong.

I think number 12 grew up to be the Penguin in the Batman Movie. He was one evil dude.
