 : PLAY THE B3TA BUNNY GAME:
 Rob says:
     "I was in a pizza restaurant with my girlfriend
     Lucy talking about web versions of games like
     Operation. Then Lucy suggested that game you
     used to get in fairgrounds with the electric
     wire that buzzed if you touched it with the
     metal hoop thing. So we ended up drawing stuff
     on napkins and pretending our fingers were
     mice..."
     "Anyway, it's ended up with something where
     you have to trace the outline of a nice bunny
     with a mouse.
     It's called Cursor Love Bunny"

     BUNNY FACT 1: RABBIT LIFTING
     Rabbits hate being picked up by their ears.
     Magicians who pull bunnies out of hats are
     cruel.
 : WATCH FRENCH BUNNY MOVIE
     Yomgaille - a 24-year-old picture editor for a
     French book publisher - has produced a
     fantastically odd animation inspired by last
     weeks Jada.
     It features the bunny, a gun, and French song
     sung by lots of little girls. In a forest.
     He says "I've loved that song since I was 4.
     It's well known in France. It's a typical
     stupid child song with a naive singer.
     However, the bunny represents love, and
    how men can corrupt it. "
 It's all very odd:

        BUNNY FACT 2: TEETH
        Rabbit's teeth never stop growing - unless
        you remove them from its head.
 : THE CULT OF THE BUNNY
     In case you haven't noticed, the internet is
     being taken over by gigantic rabbits. Nobody
     seems to know where this rabbit comes from.

        BUNNY FACT 3:
        A group of rabbits is called a herd.
 : BUNNIES ON FILM
   WAS BUGS BUNNY A RASCIST?
   In 1945, Bugs Bunny starred in the propaganda
   cartoon 'Herr Meets Hare' - in which he tangled
   Hermann Goring in the Black Forest. you won't
   find it on TV, so watch it on the net:

   CAN YOU SEE JESSICA RABBIT'S MUFF?
   Some people think you can:

        BUNNY FACT4:
        "Coney" is old English for rabbit.
 : JADA UPDATE
   Last week Dave released Jada, his animation
   featuring a big rabbit (of course) and Maggie
   Thatcher.
   Our favourite comment so far is:
   "All that to advertise something called Kebab King?
    am I missing out on something fundamental?"
 and Dave's response?
   "Exactly. It IS an advert for Kebab King. That's
   the point. The moment of reveal is designed to
   make you think 'what the hell is a kebab house
   buggering about with a website for?'"
 (btw: Dave says the animation is "influenced
 by the classic dance routines of film musicals.
 The Internet the only place left in modern media
 for it.")
  Witness the weird joy of Jada:
