In what appears to be one long April Fool’s joke- or a
fantastic, extended Monty Python skit- we apparently now know how Simon the
giant rabbit met his unexpected and tragic demise at the hands of United
Airlines. (See my post, Giant Bunny Dies
On United Airlines Flight; 4/28). According to recent reports, he was
frozen to death when inept ground staff at Chicago’s O’Hare International
Airport accidentally put him in a “chiller.”
Annette
Edwards, former Playboy model (bunny?), Simon’s breeder- and mother of ten
herself- had called for a post-mortem on the bunny’s body to determine the
cause of death. That won’t be possible. Ms. Edwards said that representatives
from the airline called her late Friday, informed her of the cause of death,
and stated that Simon had been cremated.
Edwards
had previously stated: “The whole thing stinks of a cover-up.”
So,
United Airlines, coming off a spectacularly disastrous month in terms of public
relations, accidentally freezes a
large and famous rabbit to death, and then decides to burn his remains without consent?
Elmer
Fudd would be proud.
