Easter to be made illegal?

[LordJezo]

<p><a href="http://www.startribune.com/484/story/327850.html" target="_blank">Looks like it.</a></p><p><br />ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A small Easter display was removed from the City
Hall lobby on Wednesday out of concern that it would offend
non-Christians. </p><p>
The display - a cloth Easter bunny, pastel-colored eggs and a sign with
the words &quot;Happy Easter'' - was put up by a City Council secretary.
They were not purchased with city money.<br /><br /></p><p>Looks like another holiday is being banned from getting any kind of mention.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ehhh.&nbsp; Easter floats around so much it's really not much of a holiday.&nbsp; What are we celebrating?&nbsp; Some dude rose from the dead?&nbsp; That is a zombie.&nbsp; You're celebrating a zombie.&nbsp; With painted eggs.&nbsp; And candy.&nbsp; See how silly it is?&nbsp; Oh yea, you might have also given up stuff for 40 days before it.&nbsp; And to top it all off you might have walked around with shit on your forehead the beginning of those 40 days.&nbsp; </p><p>Offensive to non-Christians?&nbsp; That is offensive to human beings.&nbsp; Silly eggs.</p>

Can't wait to hear Bill O'reilly blow this out of proportion.

While they're at it, why don't they make this illegal

If they had a big cross on the lawn of town hall, then I could see someone maybe getting upset about it. Not for a cloth bunny. And wasn't that the alternative to the crucifixtion anyway? They're taking away the evry anti-christian thing that was set up to protect. Sheesh. </p>

<p>I hate easter eggs, maybe I'm just technically inept, but I wish they would put everything on the DVD right there on the menu so I could find it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a new character I'm trying out called &quot;Stupid Typing Guy&quot;</p>
