Tragic Character: The Trix Rabbit

Over the course of time there have been many tragic characters. One that comes to mind which is the most tragic of all is the Trix rabbit. Here you have a nice rabbit who thinks all the kids love him. In his mind he is beloved by all. Until one day he wanted a bowl of Trix cereal. The kids laughed and laughed and denied him the cereal. He went through great struggle for years after that initial denial to obtain a tasty and wholesome bowl of that fruity goodness. He spent time and money designing clever costumes to trick the kids into thinking he was someone else other than the rabbit. As soon has he'd see the cereal, he would get excited, his ears would get erect, and his cover would be blown! Why did those kids tease him all those years? The bigger question is how did he never just snap and just go on a rampage? Would it have been a big deal to let him have a bowl? Does the commercial suggest to kids not to share your cereal with anyone that is different from you? Discrimination I tell you!

Silly Rabbit. Does he think he's the master of disguise or something? Poor thing,it's okay to use his picture but not eat the cereal? Sounds like a double standard to me.
