So. What happens if it rains?

I don't know about you, but the last thing I'd want to do is go hike up onto something like this giant thing that's made out of pink wool, after it's been left out in weather and nature (bugs and stuff) for the next 20 years -- something not too comfy about that idea, even if it is on a gorgeous mountainside in Italy. Not to mention the free granny slave-laborers who built it. eeeeeeee. It looks like a deformed pink marshmallow peep.



(source: Ananova) An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.

The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.

Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool".

Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."

And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.

The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.
