I like how the station put their logo on the images as a "copyright protection" measure. Like they didn't just snag the image from somewhere else.

I've been seeing the happy bunny stuff (online) for a while now... some of them are actually pretty funny. My favorite was something wih "I just threw up a little bit" - but that was before everybodyeverybody started saying it.

But my favorite quote from the article is "It's pairing some insulting comment with something that's pleasant, warm and fuzzy, and that's a problem because it's desensitizing people, kids, to the aversiveness of what some of these shirts say"

Aversiveness? Really? Has four syllables and sounds really smart! Let's use it!

i think they're hysterical, but they are really mean. "I just threw up a little bit" is better.

It's a slow news week in Chicago, what can I say?

I saw these for the first time today in a fast-food restaurant's sticker vending machine. They made me laugh. I didn't realize they were so popular. I have aversiveness to their popularity.

There's some television commercial that I've seen twice (both times with the sound off) in which a fwuffy white bunny suddenly bares savage long carnivore teeth and (I assume) snarls. All I can do is ask what's with the sudden surge in nasty bunny symbolism? I'm not pretentious enough to say "zeitgeist" here but if I did I'd wanna know wussup widdit and stuff. And mention that Monty Python beat them to it by over 30 years.

Here it is;

George_Spiggott, it's just that aversiveness is funnier when it comes from a cute bunny. Just like everyone thinks it's hilarious when the little old lady kicks someone in the nuts, or when the giant StayPuft marshmallow guy stomps all over NY, or when monster naked mole rats slaughter and devour the entire cast of Seventh Heaven.

All right. That last one may just be me.
