Theologians have put forward the theory that the recent Peter Rabbit film may actually be some form of divine punishment for the foolishness of mankind.
The film, which was released in March and has taken over £40m at the box office, was absolutely bloody awful.
“To be honest, with the way mankind’s being going in the last couple of millennia, we’re certainly overdue some divine retribution,” said Rev. David Grant, theologian and winner of 2016’s Britain’s got Religion show.
“However, it is definitely surprising to find that retribution has come in the form of a movie about a crap rabbit.”
There is currently little in the way of hard evidence that Peter Rabbit is divine intervention, but the theory continues to persist nonetheless.
“No, I think that’s fair,” concedes the Reverend.
“There possibly isn’t any crashing thunder, seas parting, or burning bushes that you would normally associate with divinity.
“But, it’s a rapping CGI rabbit voiced by James Cordon, I’m really not sure there is any other explanation for that besides divine retribution.”
If Rev. Grant, and his colleagues are correct in their assessment then it would seem that a much-mooted Peter Rabbit sequel would suggest that mankind has yet to learn its lesson.
