Attack of the Lawn Bunnies

My friend was asking if there were any more horrifying Easter decorations gracing the shop I work at. I told her all about the crazy two foot tall white plaster bunnies with bendy ears and little pink jackets. What I forgot to mention (because we hid them down at the bottom of a display) were the incredible grass poohka's. These little gems are bunnies, about a foot tall, standing upright and carrying gardening "accessories". The kicker is that they appear to be made entirely of lawn clippings. In actuality, I think they are constructed of straw dyed a virulent green, but every time I look at them, they make me think someone's lawn has risen up and is about to go on a rampage.

Now, I should point out that most of the stuff we carry *is* really nice. I would say a good 90% of what we sell is quite attractive. The problem is, when we carry something awful, it is reaaaallly awful.
