Parker Brothers has realized something. Absolutely every person on the planet who could possibly have a desire to own a copy of Monopoly has one. They are trying to drum up support for a “Here and Now Edition” of the game by letting people “vote” for places they want on the board.

Some artist group thought that what the world really needed was a gigantic knit stuffed bunny on the side of a mountain, and luckily enough for the Italians, they chose to execute their project over there last year. According to their press release:

It’s Easter time, so the Cadbury Bunny is hard at work cranking out her little eggs.
Every year, before I chomp down on one of her sugar-filled gametes I wonder, “Why don’t they just sell these things all year?” This question quickly goes away as soon as the viscous yolk molests my tounge. I immediately [...]
