Just in time for Easter, we have Obama and Octomom Peeps!
Marshmallow Peeps, the airy sugary Easter candy, have moved LEGO out of the way during this Christian religious holiday to bring the resurrections of some of the world’s most significant events.
The scenes replicated using Peeps include Octopeeps (spoofing Octomom, of course), the wreck of the Edmund Peepsgerald, Obama’s Peeps, Judged by your Peeps, the Peepatrator, LipoPeep, Stripper Peep, U2 Peeps, and the most significant and meaningful, Give Peeps a Chance.
