Wallace and Gromit movie encounters rabbit curse

A 100-year-old superstition about rabbits has led to a ban on posters advertising new animated movie Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit on the Isle Of Portland off the west coast of England.

The superstition originates from a century ago when rabbit burrows often caused land slips and, on one occasion, killed a crane operator because the ground beneath him collapsed.
