What is the singular scariest thing you can imagine?If you thought of the Easter Bunny, then you are correct.
When I was little, I understood the following about the aforementioned rabbit:
1. He came at night
2. He must be huge, as to hide the eggs in such high places
3. He produced eggs spontaneously, both plastic and somehow the ones I had painted
4. He had free access to my house, backyard, and secret hiding places
Needless to say, Easter's eve was always one of terror. I would lay awake in my bed, imagining this 10-foot rabbit hopping around my living room, he had these red eyes that could see in the dark. "He must eat his carrots," I would think.
Really think about this concept here - if the description of this bunny doesn't match what you were taught, and if you would be scared of anything else like that lurking around your house, then you're with me. I'm not saying we should abolish the Easter Bunny, but rather change what we teach children about him. Or maybe abolish.
Similarly, I don't think rabbits should be used in children's education. Think of the Teletubbies, those rabbits are huge! If one of those Flemmish rabbits hopped in front of your car, you probably would lose.

That first picture is seriously disturbing.
Oh, Jason, I can so clearly picture you cowering in fear of a giant fluffy bunny.
the bunny i always pictured was the one used in Cadbury commercials, usually more frequent around Easter time.
and i totally agree that my car would most likely cave to a teletubby. i hate those things.
i'm really glad you have a blog now. :) i am usually laughing out loud to myself by the end of yours posts. you are definitely acclimated to blogging.
acclimated?! wow, this blogging world has some great vocabulary.
on an unrelated note, we should all dress up as teletubbies this easter.
