bunny awakes, wrecks Easter havoc

An Easter Bunny went on a rampage in a shopping district in Kansas City tearing its way through a flower bed with such ferocity that eventually it broke through a rock wall. A portion of the wall collasped, causing a landslide which closed a portion of one the main roads leading into the shopping area. There were no reported injuries however several children were purported to have dropped eggs in a mad dash that ensued shortly after the bunny appeared.

Apparently the bunny, which stands almost 6 feet tall, has frightened residents of the Country Club Plaza for years. It was not entirely clear what led to the incident. Initial reports indicated that the bunny had been upset with the combination of the late arrival of Spring coupled with an early Easter. It was also widely reported that the bunny was also having trouble adjusting to the earlier arrival of daylight savings time. Others suggested that the bunny was tired of being chased by off-leash dogs and just finally snapped.

However, in a statement released later, the bunny claimed that the tirade was a reaction to waking up and seeing that his chocolate cousin had once again been forced into the centerpiece role of a subservient basket case.
