Via Boing Boing obviously.

In 1934 they at least provided an easy cure:

P.S.: For some reason unknown to me, the gif I stole from the Bunny Corp page, doesn't do that infinite-loop-thing most animated gifs do. So if you see the bunny's grave and nothing happens, go directly to the animation at Bunny Corp.
