Alternative Easter Egg Hunt Near White House to Use Fake Cluster Bombs
2007-04-06
WASHINGTON — Anti-war and human rights activists plan an unusual take on the Easter egg hunt by holding an Easter cluster-bomb hunt on Monday.

Fake cluster bombs made by children will be scattered around Lafayette Park, north of the White House. Hundreds of people will attend the White House Easter Egg Roll while activists hold their alternative cluster-bomb hunt on the other side of the executive mansion.

Brian Hennessey, a spokesman for the Vineeta Foundation, a group sponsor, said the event aims to be humorous and fun for kids. Organizers also want to bring attention that cluster bombs cause death and destruction, Hennessey said.
Sick
A cluster bomb releases several hundred smaller bombs that might explode or linger on the ground as land mines, which are often found and picked up by children. Vineeta Foundation is chaired by Radia Daoussi, a Fulbright Scholar and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Scholar trained at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.

#8  The USAF has a problem that cluster bombs would do a good job solving. But they understand that there are some people out there who don't like the idea of cluster bombs. So rather than drop any cluster bombs, they have decided to take volunteers from the ranks upon ranks of these hypocritical clueless armchair-general whiners to save humanity by going in on foot and do the job of these bomblets using a "Please Be Nice" sign rather than use actual cluster bombs.

Do we have any takers?

OK, let's take it down a notch or two: Maybe some of the hypocritical clueless ivory-tower armchair-general whiners could go over and teach the kids to leave these things alone, or at least to also teach the kids' loving parents how to get their kids to leave these things alone? And not to cause such trouble in the first place that it necessitates these the use of these things, unlike their parents.

The crickets must be tired.

#3  How about an uncensored display for the kiddies to show them what a car bomb does to real mommies and kiddies at a market place in Baghdad? How about showing them real hiding places for daddies and mommies and kiddies who are afraid of the AQ trolls who come in the night and really cut off heads?

#2  How about a "resistance" fighter egg hunt, with little papier mache human heads and model Qassam rockets hidden around the area?

A truly educational peace movement Easter egg hunt would feature millions of little Cambodian skulls rather than eggs.
