Eggs And Mass

Why is it called Easter and not Southwester?

Turns out they channelled this trope for a later advert that lacks any charm whatsoever, and sort of misses the point a bit. Why is her hidden stash outdoors in a jungle?

Then there’s this one, which seems to suggest that Creme Eggs are squeezed out of the anus of a delusional rabbit.
