Peeps Show 2010 is perhaps not what you think. No scandal here, just good ol' sugar coated fun. But I bet you won't be able to tear your eyes away...
For four years now, the Washington Post has been hosting an annual Peeps Diorama Contest: the classic Easter candy is styled and dressed up in various hilarious scenes. They received more than 1,100 sugar-inspired entries, and the Washington Post is sharing some of their faves online.
This year's entries featured many book-themed diorams: Goodnight Moon, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Where the Wild Things Are, The Book of Bunny Suicides, Madeline....
But of course the one I found brilliant was "Peeps and Prejudice and Zombies" based on the mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

Based on the best-selling novel by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, dioramists Dayle Cristinzio of Silver Spring and Kasey Gillette of the District depict a ballroom scene with traditional dancing and zombie mayhem in "Peeps and Prejudice and Zombies." Note the period costumes, original Peep oil painting above the mantle and working chandelier.
Some other awesome Peeps dioramas include scenes of Shaun White at the Olympics, Wii Sports, old school Mario Bros, President Obama walking his dog and Michelle Obama playing skiprope in the Whitehouse garden. View the slideshow of the finalists on WashingtonPost.com
