Bigs bunny: monster rabbit devours English veggie plots – Yahoo! News

Okay, so they have a monster rabbit terrorizing England. No, it doesn’t have big nasty teeth, at least none that will chew up knights and spit them out. Perhaps they will have to use the “holy Handgrenade” with the requisite reading of the rules.

SERIOUS POINT: I love the photograph. It is a photo of a giant rabbit. Makes one think at first glance that perhaps THIS is the rabbit–until one reads the caption: “German rabbit breeder Karl Szmolinsky presents his giant male breeding rabbit ‘Robert’ in Eberswalde, eastern…” Hmmm…

Alright, already, I realize many of you are saying “yes, you SHOULD read the caption.” But do you not also think that, since so often we skim stories quickly to get a sense of the news, that news sources have a responsibility to reduce the possibility for misleading the public?

  • So wait, they’ve hired armed guards to protect their carrot patch against a rabbit? I’ve seen this cartoon before and it doesn’t end well for the hunter.

  • Run away! Run away!

    Oh, wait! You mean the picture shown was NOT the killer rabbit?

    Who ever bothers to read the captions?

  • That’s a nasty looking thing doc.
