ACK. While I don't agree with the concept--there are a ton of conservative types out there who loath the easter bunny... this provides chocolate for them. Although, why they NEED chocolate on this "holiday" is beyond me. :D Your plan for Sage sounds great... Um, I vaguely recall seeing those in our Fred Meyer! ACK.

I'm surprised there aren't more cross-overs between the rabbit and resurrection motifs. Like Jesus inside one of those windowed-egg creations, or a rabbit on the cross. A Cadbury egg with red cream inside - to represent the blood of Christ. Strawberry flavored. Yum. That’s hilarious.

It just goes to show that most people have absolutely no concept of how far is too far. I couldn’t agree with you more.
