A church group in Pennsylvania this week decided to commemorate Easter and show how Jesus was crucified- by torturing the Easter Bunny in front of several small children.
Apparently inspired equally by “Passion of the Christ” and that Jesus vs. Santa fight from “South Park,” the church sought to honor Christ by defiling the traditional iconography of Easter, which entailed whipping an actor costumed as the bunny, breaking eggs, and shouting (“Matrix”-like), “there is no Easter Bunny.”
Then again, the performers also “portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman,” so perhaps their real inspiration was Brad and Frankie of “The Real World: San Diego.”
