While Santa Claus is stuck toting around in his old fashion sleigh powered by reindeer and children's dreams, the Easter Bunny is fully embracing the 21st century. These days this rabbit is hopping around in big ol' helicopter.
Yes, apparently this is new thing for evangelical mega-churches. The rent a helicopter, fly up in the air, and scatter like 20,000 Easter eggs across a soccer field or some open green space. As a result, the events end up getting a HUGE turnout of kids. Some events have reported being overwhelmed with upwards of 20,000 screaming children all hyped-up on an Easter sugar high and psyched up for even more eggs.
Let's ignore the fact that the several thousands of dollars spent on these events could have been put to feeding and clothing some desparate souls or assisting in curing AIDS or any of the other things you would expect a moral, religious institution to do. It's all for the kids, right?
