Zombie awareness day?

I'm aware there's a religious holiday today, but that's based on a believed (self)-use of Raise Dead (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/raiseDead.htm), not Animate Dead (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/animateDead.htm).

Well, THIS is wholesome and inoffensive.

I'll probably burn for it, but even I chuckled.

Have you read Name of the Rose?  I like the idea that Jesus laughed.

I am about to watch "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" - the only completely wholesome way to celebrate this holiday, if you overlook the fact that the Easter Beagle is a thief, Snoopy is a vandal, Woodstock is an ungrateful little twit, Marcie is hopelessly stupid, and Peppermint Patty should have just boiled the damn eggs herself. Oh, and Sally is a vain little dummy - really, platform shoes for a 6-year-old?

But the Bach minuet is fun, and I love Snoopy dancing with the bunnies.  :D

Cadbury mini eggs are about the only good thing about Easter. 

Why don't they make cadbury mini pumpkins at halloween.  :(

****, that's a genuinely good idea.

Hell, paint the eggs orange and brown and pack them in treat sized bags.

Heck, paint the eggs as oblong jack o' lanterns.

I'm assuming stenciling faces would require some kind of special machinery.  Just painting them halloweenish colors should be within the existing equipment's capabilities.  Works for M&Ms.

How do they generally package cadbury eggs?  Smooth w/ decorated foil wrap would turn the difference into a print job.

...Some crap with a bunny wearing a witch's hat would help preserve the branding...

I was talking the MINI eggs, the M&M knockoffs (that are soo much better), but you could do the full line, sure. 

You could just do a new voiceover for the present commercial where all the animals are dressing up as the bunny.

I think there's serious money to be made, there.
