Artists erect giant pink bunny on mountain
An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.
The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.
Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool".
Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."
And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.
The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025. |

'Tis indeed a miracle
how such a bunny could be erected
while not anatomically corrected. |

That is awesome!
I wonder if in a year it'll be a giant, grey, mouldy, disgusting bunny with a dead hiker on its belly. Or maybe it'll get struck by lightening and animate. That'd be fucking sweet. |

| Plans are already in the works for those "dozens of grannies" to knit an army of giant white woolen maggots to take care of the problem. |

I want it! I want it for Christmas. Oh, but where would I put it?
p.s. Somebody answer my question, please. Can it be seen from space? You know, like the Great Wall of China? |

Only when it's erect.  |

Well, I figure, from space you might not know what you're looking at, but I'm sure you can see it just as easy as you can see the Great Wall of China. It would look like a thin discolered line zigzagging across the landscape. The human eye can see incredible detail.

Sure, it would take a trained eye, but I call the bunny visible from space. |
