this makes me very angry. This guy should cry himself to sleep everynight for being a bag.

It's not so much cruelty to animals, I mean, they do tend to get eaten, it's that he's preying on other peoples values for a quick buck, at the expense of a poor rabbit.

If it weren't for GB somantics....well I'll just shut up now in my anger for this person.

GGGHHHAAAAAA, I can't resist. That person is the biggest *** I have ever heard. I could go into detail, but then I would be banned.

I may be naive but I think this is at best a joke and at worst an advertising campaign. It doesn't bother me.

This guy is smart, even though the purpose of the site is completely stupid. And I bet he makes some coin with that.

Smart + sadism = coin + profit. What a sad world

Is this a real page, or just a spoof/ploy to make money? It seems a little far fetched. Would you eat a bunny you found under your house after you kept it for months at a time?

Obsidian · Post by **Obsidian** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 2:09 pm

depends what percentage of slime makes up your moral constitution I suppose.

I've heard he's made almost 20k off of this.

To me it looks more like a mix of internet spoof and creative merchandizing. I dunno, maybe I'm just cold-hearted or skeptical. It just seems a little preposterous to me...

An extortion plan involving not someone else's pet, but his own. How cunning.

Hes not honestly going to eat the bunny. He is just playing a joke knowing that people are dumb enough to believe a man would acutualy eat a pet. I bet most of the people who bought a book even knew it was a hoax, just thinking it was funny and wanting to see what the book is about.

I would also think it is a fake. And if not - well, there are strange people everywhere.

This sort of thing got started when National Lampoon did a cover (in January, 1973) that featured a worried dog with a gun to his head, with the caption, "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog". It has appeared repeatedly in many different forms since then.

I agree... It's just a funny plug, and im considering buying a copy myself personally.

As I said - stange people everywhere

I'd never - even if the book was good and all that - buy from something like that.
I dont trust it and I don't like the methods.

This site has been there for quite some time now. It even made the Dutch six o'clock news a few weeks back. From what I gather, the guy's actually making some bucks.
You gotta wonder, what's next? Some guy that doesn't like his wife? "Pay up or I'll waste her!"

Wasn't this posted somewhere before? This is not the first time this is getting done. The other guy earned like 50,000 euros.
