@Natasha_Jay
Well, it's at least in a pretty good shape!

@Natasha_Jay
ARTHUR: What happens now?

BEDEVERE: Well, now, uh, Lancelot, Galahad, and I, uh, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the Finns, uh, by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!

@Natasha_Jay the eggs are not filled with candy, only turnip

[mightyredpanda@hachyderm.io]

@Natasha_Jay That's an SCP and I will not be convinced otherwise

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay haha it seems to be placed at Pupuhuhta school yard - Pupupuhta means approx "Bunny meadow" and the sculpture is meant as something that kids can climb on. It's called "Bunny granny and her jolly bowed legs" (impossible to translate the pun)

@Natasha_Jay

reminds me of

Maybe they're cousins.

The Really Really Serious Easter Bunny

[natasha_jay@tech.lgbt]

@karhutar
Honestly, it looks like it will eat them and spit out the bones

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay yes, it's hideous, never heard of it before

[astronot@mastodon.online]

@karhutar @Natasha_Jay Do you know the artist's name? I'd love a giant scary bunny for my yard.

My neighbor has giant dinosaurs. It's tough to keep up with the Jones around here.

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@astronot @Natasha_Jay the article says the artist is Helmer Selin, but note that the work was finished 1982.

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@astronot @Natasha_Jay the owner of the statue seems to be the city of Jyväskylä, I think they wouldn't hesitate to sell it... it must be a public danger by now

[astronot@mastodon.online]

@karhutar @Natasha_Jay i think shipping may be an issue.

Thank you for the information

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@astronot @Natasha_Jay they are taking leaking toilets to the moon, so why not one concrete bunny to somewhere else

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@Natasha_Jay Ah. Good old Finland. 🤍

[snaprails@cupoftea.social]

@Natasha_Jay That’s even more hardcore than the Beckenham Place Park Squirrel!

Brutalist Easter Bunny in Jyväskylä, Finland iz brutal, Natasha.

@Natasha_Jay I lived few years next to Jyväskylä’s brutalistic bunny. Best part was that its interior was hollow and was playground to children. It is practically located at schoolyard. Some time after I moved away it was filled with concrete. Extra fun is that district where that is, is called Pupuhuhta (nearly literal translation is something like Bunny field. :)) I love that bunny and also I’m a brut fan.
