Bunny Blogger Loves RickRolling Fans

Truffles has a ton of online friends and fans. The popular bunny blogger is big on every social network.

But at least once a day, he resorts to the oldest Internet trick in the book – the RickRoll.

“It’s definitely funny, and it has its place,” Duncan Mills tells The Fluffington Post. He was a recent victim of Truffles’ online prank, and while he took it in stride, he wonders if it’s a little trite. “I wish Truffles would be more original. I worry he’s losing his edge.”

Social Network for Bunnies Gains 50,000 Users Every Month

Move over, Pinterest. Bunster, a social network for rabbits, is growing faster than a carrot patch on a sunny day.

ComScore estimates the platform is adding 50,000 users every month, and investors are chomping at the bit.

“They’ve yet to generate any revenue,” says Lawrence Seligman, a social media analyst. “Bunnies aren’t exactly a marketer’s dream demographic. But that user base can’t be ignored.”

Indie Rock Bunny Teases New Album Cover

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Much to the delight of fans, Fiesta the rabbit has released a sneak peek of the cover of his latest EP. Shot at a local beach in the early afternoon, the cover captures Fiesta at his most introspective – looking east toward an unseen hurdle.

Industry sources have indicated that the new album might be a return to roots for the bunny. “Fiesta’s had a rough couple years,” says Craig Houser of Pitchfork Media. “His electronica album didn’t do as well as he’d hoped, and the less said about his foray into Gregorian chant the better. I’m guessing he’s taken the hint and gone straight acoustic this time around." 

According to Fiesta’s website, the EP will be released exclusively on vinyl with a nationwide coffeehouse tour following in the fall. "Fiesta is constantly evolving as an artist,” says Houser. “Hard to pin down, sometimes incoherent, but never boring. This is going to be an album for the fans.”

Bunny Duo to Brave Elements for The Weather Channel Gig

A new duo of meteorologist bunnies, Hopper and Claude, will be braving extreme weather in a new gig for the The Weather Channel, starting this spring. The pair will be sent on assignment during severe storms, spelling the much overworked Jim Cantore and allowing him to report from a studio for at least part of the upcoming hurricane season.  The photo above is a still image taken from a demo reel the two Texas-natives apparently sent to The Weather Channel.  It was shot using a very large fan.
