It's a land of bullshit out there

Ah well, Easter Monday. Unfortunately, for reasons I have as yet been unable to establish, much of Asia and, curiously, all of the United States, fails to think that we should have a public holiday to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. The USA has a day off to celebrate his crucifixion, but clearly the guy handing out the public holidays thought that it was a bit over the top to have a day off just because the guy came back from the dead. Perhaps if he had come back from the dead six months later, that would have been worthy of a holiday. But, well, three days? Maybe Christ was just having a rest.

So, it's a kind of a work day for me, checking up on events out there in the ridiculously non-British world where they have weeks off to celebrate their elders (Shinto) and stuff like that, but don't take the day off to get over an overdose of Chocolates. And when did the rabbits start coming into it? I mean, do Easter bunnies lay eggs? Shouldn't it be the Easter chicken? All very confusing to the man from Mars, I would imagine.

Here's a blinding advert from yesterday's Sunday Times
