That poor Trix rabbit just can't get a break.
For years, he's tried to get his grubby little paws on the Post (I think it's Post, anyways) cereal. You know, the one with all the vibrant colored dyes that make you poop green or purple. (Note to the bunny: Try something better. While Trix is nowhere near as bad as the cereal Captain Crunch, it doesn't hold a candle to such delicacies as Corn Pops or Frosted Flakes. Trix ain't worth it.)
After going to such elaborate disguises as painting himself all the colors of the rainbow or concealing his ears with a baseball cap, he usually just gets ahold of a bowl when some snot-nosed weasel kid catches on (obviously we've got some descendants of Sherlock Holmes working in the commercial industry) and berates him verbally with the tired slogan, "Trix are for kids." Then there's usually a second for the rabbit to stare wistfully at his breakfast, escaped once again. I hope he's eating his other meals, because if he's waiting for the most important meal of the day, it ain't happenin'. Then again, look how skinny his arms and legs are. Can you say S-U-P-E-R-M-O-D-E-L? How about A-N-O-R-E-X-I-A? I suspect the Trix Rabbit is starving himself for his craft.
To add some insult to injury, so infamous is the Rabbit's pursuit that they even started off the "Got Milk?" campaign with him (in his best disguise ever- that human mask looked almost real) in a darkened motel room, finally alone with his cereal of choice, but lacking the White Liquid. After all those years, to be so close . . .
But now, there's a new bunny on daytime TV. The rabbit from Nestle Quik has hopped onto the screen with HIS OWN CEREAL, NesQuik. It's (ah, time for lunch) full of little brown pellets (there goes our appetite) that will turn your milk into chocolate milk. At least your poop will be the right color.
But the Quik Rabbit is shown actually digesting this cereal. And not only that, but he's on the lam from some overzealous milk cartons (with nary a missing kid on them).
I think we're getting a subliminal message here. Brown (African-American) bunny gets brown cereal and can eat it, but white (Caucasian) bunny can't eat cereal of all colors. Have things really gotten to be this politically correct? This is just one more thing the African-American race (who spent years rightfully seeking EQUALITY) have become superior in. Now don't think I'm racist; I just believe everybody of all race, gender and sexual orientation should be treated equally. Plus I'm a little ticked off that I can't get more college scholarships because I'm not African-American/Jewish/Native American/Put Your Minority Here. It's a sad commentary when one rabbit is starving because of his fur color.
