QI: Round 3

My my my, i'm going to regret this decision aren't I? 5 interesting answers, including the one I was looking for, giving you a grand total of 11 points!

1: bugs, brer and the easter bunny have also all been involved in racism rows, and requests for them to be banned.

bugs had several cartoon in the 50s which are no longer shown due to the portrayal of deep south characters, and the film the song of the south has never been released by disney in full in the usa, due to concerns about possible complaints over the uncle remus character.  the easter bunny has been called into question in recent years for its association with christianity (though this may well be in the main just the usual scare-mongering of the more right wing press and their 'political correctness' phobia).  ironically though, a recent case found that someone had been leaving racist messages inside plastic easter eggs in michigan - not the kind of kinder surprise you might want yr child to find.

2:  All of them are tricksters in a way. Bugs Bunny tricks the atagonists, and get's back at them. Brer rabbit also is shown to be a trickster after being thrown into a biar patch. Easter bunny hides easter eggs around not always in obvious spots. This is considered a trickster
3: All were taken from folklore or people. Bugs bunny is thought of by the runaway slaves. Which could refer to the main atagonist being a hunter. Brer rabbit taken from African folklore of being a hare which was tradiontally a figure of a trickster. Easter Bunny was taken from German folklore of a hare who gave eggs to good little children.

4: They are not bunny's they are hare's. This is actually a politically correct statement that in each situation they follow the name of Hare not Rabbit or Bunny.

5: All appeared in animated shorts or in movies. Alot of shorts for Warner Bro's for Bugs Bunny. Brer rabbit in Song of the south. Easter Bunny in Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The movie.

And so, your next question:

What was the dishwasher invented for?
