Holy Smokes! I received this post card in the mail. A church in my city will drop 30,000 Easter eggs from a helicopter (yes, thirty THOUSAND).
Are you thinking the following:
1) 30,000 is a lot of sh*t–a lot of plastic to drop onto the ground and into our streams.
2) Think of all the petroleum that went into making those 30,000 plastic eggs. Can you think of anything–anything at all–that could possibly be MORE wasteful than this?
3) What the hell do make-believe chicken eggs have to do with Easter and the religious celebration? Or, does this go along with the pretending to be dead thing?
4) Wait! There’s more….Hmmmm….I think I saw a kid’s movie about this….it was raining food from the sky….And the moral of that story was?
5) Think of the manpower and the cost to buy, fill and airlift these frivilous imitation eggs.
6) What are you teaching your children, people? Rent a helicopter to drop candy we don’t need to kids who are already too fat? It’s all about us, right?
7) Does this church have WAY too much money? Shouldn’t they be spending their funds on something more church-like? (Read: stocking the food pantry with NON-candy.)
8) ”Prizes given away: An iPad, XBox kinect, and Wii.” Seriously??? Are agnostics and atheists invited? My kid has always wanted a Wii.
9) How long will it take to clean up all this litter?
10) What were the church leaders thinking when they came up with this idea? Wait–were they thinking?
I kid you not. This is really going to happen Saturday, April 23rd at 9:30 AM. I know, I know. Insane.
