People in Washington, D.C., are talking about peeps—specifically, the dioramas made from the garishly hued Easter candy for a Washington Post contest. And here at National Geographic headquarters, we’re especially proud of the one made by the society’s communications staff, an effort that placed among the finalists: “U2 PeepD,” an homage to the 3D film distributed by National Geographic.

Juggling Peeps, foam, exacto knives, and hot glue, the team of Stephanie Montgomery, Ann Barrett, Ethan Fried, Heather Cabral, and Kate Baylor toiled for hours, suffered glue burns, and developed carpal tunnel syndrome from cutting out photos of the drum set, cell phone, and other props. If you want to visit the Post’s Web site and cast a vote of support for this National Peepographic entry as a reader favorite, well, you won’t hear a, um, peep of protest out of Peep, er, Pop Omnivore.
