Easter eggs on my face

Sherlock Holmes was killed by Arthur Conan Doyle. The author couldnt handle it anymore. So he just did him off.
The loving public who adored Sherlock went crazy. Their favourite private dick residing n baker Street cant die. That's elementary Mr. Doyle. So the poor author, Arthur, started writing again. Sherlock returned to life and solved many more mysteries.
Superman met a similar fate when he fought Doomsday, but Superman cant die and hence he returned.
Public outcry makes the world go round. The ideals of Democracy at its glorious best.
The storyteller faces writer's block. Kills off his lead character to get some peace of mind. Public get enraged. They want their favourite character back. So the character returns miraculously.
I cant help but wonder - is that the reason behind Easter?

Easter is actually a conspiracy. Candy makers conspired and rewrote that particular chapter and made their favourite character return miraculously from death.

That's the plot of Dan Brown's next novel. You didn't know that, did you? ;-)
