Simply erasing the word Energizer wouldn't cut it.  The idea here is to
interject a non sequitur in an abrupt fashion.  Having a bunny cut across your
video screen is an expression of that idea and is protected by copyright.

A lot of people would be annoyed at the intrusion of Netbunny and since it
is fairly obvious where the idea came from, I think Eveready wouldn't like the
bad feelings generated.
