Pious Morons Whip Easter Bunny at Children's Easter Show

"Easter Bunny whipped at church show; some families upset" is the headline of the Associated Press article. A church trying to teach about the crucifixion of Jesus performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs. Where's PETA when you really need them?

People who attended Saturdayís performance at Glassportís memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, ìThere is no Easter bunny,î and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified. The actor who portrayed the Easter Bunny also was the youth minister of Glassport Assembly of God (now there's a role model!) and said she "tried to act with a tone of irreverence." Whatever the hell that means.

Performers broke eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt and also portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman, according to a parent who was there.

Melissa Salzmann, who took her 4-year-old son J.T., said the program was inappropriate for young children. ìHe was crying and asking me why the bunny was being whipped,î Salzmann said.
