Well, this is certainly an interesting marketing scheme...

I think so... it seems that he keeps changing the date he says the rabbit will be eaten in order to keep threatening people. That's why at first I wasn't sure whether it was the same thing that's been posted here before.

I don't think it's possible to know considering the site is older than all of us combined.

Date has been changed, obviously...
From pics section:

Plated

Toby seems to have gotten mixed up and he's on a dinner plate. Well, he's fine for now. But don't let him get served on a plate on june 30th!


Still a damn cute little rabbit though, lol.

If that guy ever comes to my bar, I'ma beat the **** out of him.  Then again, he might not be serious.  I don't have the judgement centers to determine that.  Still, I find it ludicrous what some people will say or do to sell a book.

Chances are he's not. It's called a scam. Actually, it could be technically called sheer brilliance: people actually send him the money, and I'm sure he's made more than a fair share off of this.

That rabbit will be pretty disgusting according to the page:

Unfortunately, on November 6th, 2006, Toby will die. I am going to eat him. I am going to take Toby to a butcher to have him slaughter this cute bunny. I will then prepare Toby for a midsummer feast.
Unless, of course, he lives in Australia.

yeah, but then there's that that australia has way too many rabbits to begin with, if I'm not mistaken.

Very true. Killed off quite a few native animals as well, if I have my facts straight.

I hope people realize this is a joke site where the Paypal counter is periodically updated, but not because people actually donate anything. And yeah, this is older than Mick Jagger.

Rabbits tend to do that, if I know what I'm talking about.
