As was reported two years ago, some malls in Florida and elsewhere in the country are forbidding the term "Easter Bunny" and replacing it with "Garden Bunny". UPDATE: The malls have proactively decided to scrap the term "Garden Bunny" because of "Garden of Gethsemane" is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible.
Dave Woosie, a vice president of a chain of Florida malls, said that because the "Garden of Gethsemane" is the scene of one of the most dramatic events of Bible History on The Fateful Night before the Crucifixion the term garden may offend non-Christians and non-Bible believers.
Other names like "Walking Bunny", "Miracle Bunny" and "Love Bunny" were all vetoed as well because Jesus walked on water, performed miracles and commanded people to love thy neighbor.
At this time the faux furred biped is just being called the "Mall Bunny" since there were no known malls, as we know them today, in Jesus' day.
