That bunny has been popular a long time ago. I first saw it at the dealmac forums as a sig by CJsNvrUrly . I PM'd her and I think she gave me the link. That bunny has actually had many many items on it's head. It is not photoshopped.
This site has a link to the real site. The real sit is mostly Japanese. The bunny was named Oolong and died in 2003.

On this site the links listed on the left are in English and show the bunny with different items on his head.
