The Easter Bunny
Some of you are probably wondering what is the connection between Easter, Jesus and this cute adorable bunny that everyone talks about during this Spring holiday, so here it goes:
The Easter Bunny is a mythological rabbit who brings eggs and candy to children on the Easter holiday. The Easter bunny possibly has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.
The precise origin of the ancient custom of coloring eggs is not known. Greeks to this day typically dye their Easter eggs red, the color of blood, in recognition of the renewal of life in springtime (and, later, the blood of the sacrificed Christ). Some also use the color green, in honor of the new foliage emerging after the long dead time of winter. (wikipedia.org)
That’s right people, Easter is just another pagan holiday that found it’s “rightful” place inside the christian religion. I guess old habits die hard.
And now, for the moment of entertainment, to wipe off some of those pious faces we all grew accustomed to during Easter- I present to you the REAL easter bunny, the one that f*cking hates you!
Moldova riots
Our Moldovan brothers are struggling to overturn corrupt election results of the communist party, while CNN and other media talk about the influence of social networking in this matter. Their authorities already started a cyber counter-attack, blocking access to these web networking services.
Seems to me they are missing the whole point. It’s not about the social networks, it’s about people, and what people want – remember December 22nd, 1989, when Romania was facing a major turning point in it’s history. Would things be any different today, if we had Twitter? Doubt it.
My 2 euro cents.
P.S. Seems Romania gets the blame for what is happening. That’s a new one!
