2. Run away run away

3. Cute. But, this is how cynical I've become. Governments of the world,

particularly ours, are probably using the pink bunny to hone their skills in spying. sorry.

5. They didn't need the bunny to spy on us, they use OnStar.

Oh, and remember that contest Coca Cola had a few years back? Once you opened the "special can"--the one with the RFID tag hidden in it--a "prize patrol" would swoop down to where you were within minutes and give you a free car?

Pink bunnies ain't got nothing on American corporations.

8. Oh, I'm sure you're right, I'm just sayin'.....................No, I don't remember

the free car RFID tag promotion. I suppose we're not far from implanted RFID tags. Just think of all the useful purposes they could serve? :sarcasm:

10. Heh, my point was that we are helping them with the R&D.

There used to be a time when companies that made stuff designed and tested their own products before putting them on the market.

Nowadays, they focus group test with little regard for function and then await our complaints and suggestions for fixes.

And then we get Windows 2000!

Windows NT!

Windows Vista!

6. You'd think they'd put a link in the article! n/t

7. Try this

I entered "Giant Pink Rabbit" in the Google Earth searcher. It came up as the first hit and zoomed me into it.

On edit: The city is Artesina, Italy

I got it to come up, but Google Earth on my work PC is painfully slow!

9. Where did all those grannies

find that many pink sheep?
