Curse of the Were-Rabbit spooks island
Posters for the new Wallace and Gromit film in Portland Bill will not feature the word 'rabbit' due to local quarry-men's superstitious avoidance of the word.  They'll have to be careful in most fishing communities as well, then, as they have a thing about rabbits as well.  But what are they going to do, produce a version called "Curse of the Were-Furry-Thing" and dub the soundtrack specially to avoid mentioning rabbits?  And anyway I don't see the connection with quarrying - with fishing the mythological connection is that the Moon rules the sea and rabbits and hares are associated with the Moon - but where does quarrying fit in?  Oh well, whoever said superstitions were supposed to be logical?
