The wabbit is dead, la da da da, dee da, the wabbit is dead

Ripped from the headlines (or at least, from page 91 of the December issue of the queer travel mag, Passport): "Like some of the campier roadside attractions along America's highways and byways, an enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside. Flopped across the terrain, the 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies, as if cast aside by a giant, on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava Mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.

"The lapine landmark, entitled 'Hase,' was designed and executed by Viennese art group, Gelatin, known for their edgy and often nude art 'happenings.' The group says it was knitted 'by dozens of grannies out of pink wool.' The hope is not only to inspire smiles and gawking, but for hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and picnic on its fuzzy belly.

"Don't, however, think this is all pastoral child's play... those who make the trek will also discover that snaking from one side are its flowing heart, liver, and intestines. The giant rabbit corpse is intended to remain on the mountainside until 2025."
