Onesie Couture of the Day: Spencer Hansen has taken his disturbing Balmoville Bunny toys to their logical conclusion: Limited-edition Rabbit Onesies.

That’s right, now you too can dress up and parade around like your favorite Blamoville characters in these super warm, super comfortable rabbit jumpsuits. Each onesie comes with metal wire lined rabbit ears that allow the wearer styling and molding possibilities. And what bunny suit would be complete without its own fluffy bunny tail on the butt?

I don’t know a single thing about fashion, but I have no doubt these are the next big thing.

Front Page Photo of the Day: “Zach Burroughs of Arlington gets a little ice with his ice cream as he hurries back to work in the District on Wednesday.”

This dude clearly needs to chill out.

Meanwhile, BuzzFeed’s readers shop up other reasons why someone might be running around D.C. with an ice cream cone.

The Interpipes Are Leaking of the Day: Spotted in the Finnish newspaper Kaleva.

Without knowing a single word of Finnish, I’m gonna go ahead and assume not a single word on that page is spelled correctly.

Balloon Animals of the Day: The Black Cat Balloon Company — which may or may not be a balloon company run by a black cat — has taken it upon itself to create a detailed balloon animal representation of each Muppet.

You can see what’s been done so far on the official Muppet Project flickr page.
