Easter Bunny Exploited!

Each spring, on the first Sunday of April, a child’s thoughts turn toward a gentle, soft furry white character. Children believe he is a loving, vivacious rabbit who hides treats for them in places only children would search. This upstanding rabbit, also known as the Easter Bunny, is being ex- ploited by chocolate manufacturers.

Each spring, chocolate manu— fact't. . stcp tip the production ‘ of their chocolate confection. This extra chocolate is poured into molds .which resemble a rabbit figure. The statuette, ~ thus formed in chocolate, is repre— sentative of the Easter Bunny. The companies responsible for the construction of these rabbit like- nesses assert that they must make a profit (by selling these sta~ tuettes) so that' they can pay staff,

so that they can produce enough .

product to keep the staff em- ployed, and to supply a .huge . amount of these'choco'late sta-' tuettes to meet the ever-increasing ' demandfor this defamatory de- light. In actuality, these corn-

‘panie's easily create another 1..

form of chocolate confection to

delight the public rather than' exploiting the Easter Bunny. if the

new and different Easter treat, they would not only solve their economic dilemma, they would also stop damaging the image children have of the Easter Bur 'ty. The damage suffered by this rabbit is nothing less than ex- ploitation. These companies are ruining the Easter Bunny’s rep .tta-

tion, and use the Easter Bunny to ‘

further their own ends.

Because these companies bla— tantly disregard change in the direction of replacing the Easter Bunny Chocolate figure, one must conclude that the management of these businesses does not have enough ingenuity to create another form, or that the com— :panies are run by sadistic people who enjoy exploiting the Easter Bunny.

mass marketing brown,‘ solid masses of chocolate in the shape of an Easter Bunny. This bunny, which the companies advertise constantly, is a sweet, gooey, solid form, with one texture, and very littler character. The companies convince children that the Easter Bunny is a purchasable item; an item to be bought, used, con- sumed, and Lhen disregarded for another year.

Since the Easter Bunny lives in a child’s mind, the chocolate com- panies are abusing the rabbit, and mangling children’s concept of a good Easter Bunny. After expo-

advertising techniques and purchasable Easter Bunnies, children have no qualms about devouring the head or body of the Easter Bunny. In fact, once the chocolate imposter is consumed, the: Easter 1 Birth; and all it stands for [areflrnerely forgotten for another year: '

Some chocolate companies also market hollow Easter Bunnies.

‘ These forms usually have a sicken-

ingly sweet candy' placed in the eye cavity. The Easter Bunny a child sees in one of these forms

is that of an unstable, hollow

character without ‘any real sub-

stance. Children lose faith in a bunny who would collapse under the slightest of pressures. indeed,

companies are putting forth as the Easter Bunny shOuld be institu- tionalized in’ a hospital for the

This change for the betieiit of the companies is exploitation of the Easter Bunny. The time for change is now, before all children lose their innocent image of the Easter Bunny. Society. for its children. must protect the Easter Bunnt by putting‘an immediate end'to this obvious exploitation of him.
