Mall Easter bunnies hunt for neutral names

The Easter Bunny is a vanishing breed.

Not that there's a shortage of 6-foot white rabbits carrying baskets of colored eggs. It's just that Mr. Shopping Mall Bunny is becoming more politically correct.

Simply, this sucks.

This is ridiculous. I had to hear & see "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and now "Garden Bunny"?

This is OUR country, or at least it WAS.

These people will not be happy until we rename Christmas and Easter, Festivus Holiday 1 and Festivus Holiday 2

Sooner or later they will go after the Fourth of July, cuz ya know only the Nazis believed in nationalism.

Oestre was a pagan fertility goddess, so the name ought to be perfect with liberals, except she was an Anglo-Saxon goddess, and Anglo-Saxons, of course, are not a protected minority, sorry!/sarcasm off

And BTW how can they get away with calling the event a "HUNT"?;))

[SandRat]

Now that's an interesting idea for a twist the LIBERALS tail game; sic PETA on them and let the two of them attack each other.

What about the Jihad Bunny? The liberals would go for that, I'm sure.

Hey, what do you expect from the most liberal part of Florida outside of a university town, a place that is the Florida equivalent of West Hollywood/Beverly Hills?

And you wonder why many people consider liberals elitists.

"I suppose the name Easter Bunny is fairly unusual. We have Easter eggs too," Boynton Beach Mall Manager Andrea Horne said. "I know it's probably not the popular thing to call it.""

It would be cool if the churches brought busloads of people to this mall to shop and ignored the others.

I simply refuse to have bunnies, chicks and eggs be MY Easter.

I will allow lambs and crosses for Easter shaped goodies. I am sick and tired of these hateful liberals trying to remove all semblance of what Easter is all about. That is what they are doing. They are making Easter a joke.
