I like the LA Times, but this article on climate change and bunnies is silly. It starts with, “Easter is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets, pagan equinox rituals and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies” and ends with, “All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Sunday. Do it!” Have a look. I get the appeal - media’s gotta be clever to keep the audience engaged. So, maybe I’m feeling grouchy again. On the other hand, doesn’t this type of ‘reporting’ smack of wiki-laziness? What do you think? HIGH RES

  8. alice44 answered: I am too grouchy- but to link Easter with climate change could work — Easter occurs at a season of change — it is linked with planting
  9. eusouvarias answered: cool *-*
  10. gregorychatman answered: yeah, I’m grouchy too. But climate change is serious and there stuff we need to do..
  11. pirate-zombie-female-android answered: this amuses me greatly, in part because it doth make no fucking sense. I agree with ingreen.
  12. ingreen answered: I cannot believe they linked Easter to Climate change. I think the silliest part is the closing line. Don a costume. Fight climate change!

  14. thecliffsatetretat answered: Sounds like the realism thing you mentioned earlier: it’s recognizably dumb, but there’s too much cultural momentum behind it.
