On the other hand, I’m not sure how this: > [@What to do? My daughter saw her Easter Bunny presents](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-to-do-my-daughter-saw-her-easter-bunny-presents/686253/22): > > Kill her before she has a chance to tell the other children. Its for the greater good. even gets a note: > [@What to do? My daughter saw her Easter Bunny presents](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-to-do-my-daughter-saw-her-easter-bunny-presents/686253/24): > > Try not to be a jerk, Simplicio. It’s for the greater good. Unlike the “Jews” comment it was really obviously a joke, and I’m not aware of any tragic historical epidemic of parents who murdered their children for learning about the Easter Bunny. Compared to calling Jews “vermin” this seems like an incredibly mundane joke. I understand that what constitutes “offensive” is subjective, and all, but it doesn’t strike me, personally, as being in any way shocking, edgy, or tasteless. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/explicitly-saying-the-jews-are-vermin-earns-a-note-and-not-a-warning-wtf/686028)._
