Where Have the Unicorns Gone? – Unicorn stuffed animal in NYC trash can – Murder or Suicide?
July 12th, 2010 by Cyndi Freeman
This was the scene one Sunday Morning in June on Houston Street. What led up to this tragic end? I’ve got a few theories:
- NYU student has an “Ah-ha moment”: If she ever wants to have sex she needs to get rid of her old pal Rainbow, as his presence taking up the whole bed seems to be a deal breaker.
- The Velveteen Rabbit lies.
- Bed bugs.
What’s your theory?

It’s a trap. This is how unicorns hunt. By adopting this submissive pose, the unicorn will lure you in by appealing to your curiosity. It might even hail you a cab to seem friendly. However, the second you turn your back, well…
It’s ugly, man. Ugly.

I don’t know but I love this photo times a million. Or maybe it’s a trap, like Dan said.

Don’t unicorns shed their skins every six months? From the photograph it appears to be nothing more than an empty discarded hide. Fear not, the unicorn is prancing around in his shiny new skin.

See, this is what happens after Apple has harvested every last tear from a unicorn to power it’s iPad & iPhone 4 devices. They need to start doing this in a more sustainable way before PETA goes berserk.

the phrase “uni-horny trashy love” comes to mind.

Unicorn Bill was feeling the heat, and had to dispose of his most prized but incriminating evidence. It’s not a unicorn; it’s a unicorn suit… made of unicorns.

I think the unicorn parade held on governor’s island on Sat would explain it… http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photos/rainbow-unicorn-parade

What is not explained is what Unicorny dreams were so crushed at the parade, that their regalia was chucked so definitively. Did they think that at the end of the parade route Mayor Bloomberg would be there in a wizard’s coat and a wand to make all of them into real Unicorns?

Had this since forever but now it’s just gross. Colonel Sanders used to sleep on it for years but when she got old I think she peed on it and then after that I didn’t want to touch it. It was just in the corner for like a year and it’s nasty.

It is not FINE, it’s DEAD. (Always read the fine print.)

this is just another case of Unicorn Anorexia, a new epidemic which is quickly spreading especially in these regions where beauty is highly rated among society. It’s a sad sad craze, and I hope the media will realize this and stop promoting Equidae-slenderness as the new hype. In my days, Black Beauty was considered beautiful… (!)

This is what left after “Mythological Creatures Gone Wild”

the devil guy from the movie “Legend” did it.

I wish I could have that unicorn ?Is there a way to retrieve it and send it to me ? I would love her or him very much for I love Unicorns with all my heart and I believe in them.

Actually, it’s not the end — the Unicorn is still alive flying from trash can to trash can across the globe:
