The "Killer" Rabbits Strike Again

[thetrailboss]

Well, guess some Vermonters are bored and want to cause some mischief by spray painting white rabbits on the roads. This weekend, they struck the police chief's house in St. Albans. No, this is not something from Monty Python :blink:

No problem. Glad you asked. I Googled the paper and dug around for this lead article. Could you imagine having 80 of those on your driveway?????

Is this like a Jefferson Airplane thing?

Actually, this brings up an interesting issue. If you read the article, you see:

They were at one of their homes, brainstorming about what to do on that hot day. They desired some summer fun minus poisoning their bodies with drugs, or burglarizing people’s homes, or assaulting someone innocent.

Someone mentioned a rabbit.

“That’s it!” somebody else said. “Let’s go out and paint white bunnies.”

So they did. Two of the artists made a rabbit-shaped cardboard stencil out of cardboard. Add some white spray paint, and before long the bunnies had bred like … well … bunnies.

They hold no deep significance or hidden meaning.

“It’s just supposed to be a friendly creature,” one of the artists said. “It’s something we wanted kids and adults to look at and enjoy. … We were bored, and we wanted to do something different.”

The artists painted their first rabbit on Interstate 89, between Swanton and St. Albans. Others can be seen hippity-hoppitying through Georgia, Enosburg and Swanton. There is one near the U.S.-Canada border in Highgate Springs. There are others in Burlington and Essex.

So this begs the question, is there any redeeming value to the pictures???

P.R. Value

The Public Relations side of me is furious that I didn't think of this first.

It probably would not have been such a big deal but, when the story first came out in the news 2 weeks ago the police chief vowed to catch the vandals. Like there isn't anything else more important going on in ST.A.
