  Upper Class Twit of the Year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Upper Class Twit of the Year is a classic sketch that was seen on the T.V. show Monty Python's Flying Circus, and also in a modified format in the movie And Now For Something Completely Different.
Each Twit is given a shotgun, and he must shoot a rabbit that has been tied very firmly to stakes so it can't move around very much (as the Upper-Class Twit of the Year is only a one-day event).
Several of the Twits are forced to bludgeon the rabbits to death with the butt of their gun or a fist.

This idea actually has been kicking around for several years -- John Dean raised it in a column shortly after L'affaire Plame erupted, Mark Kleiman suggested it back in July, and Jim VandeHei and Walter Pincus wrote about it in the Washington Post just a couple of days ago.
