Doesn't anyone realize that asteroids impact like raptors? While you are all focused on the one you see ... that's when the attack comes. Not from the front and the one you see, but from the sides, from the other two asteroids that you didn't even know were there.
You see, asteroids are pack impactors ... and they are out in force today.

Scientists have moved closer to being able to stop a huge asteroid colliding with the Earth and potentially wiping out human life.
Researchers at the University of Tennessee have discovered that blowing the space rock up could make the collision worse by causing several devastating impacts.
Instead, small changes could be made to its surface to disrupt the forces keeping it together and cause it to break up in outer space.
They were studying asteroid 1950 DA, which has a one in 300 chance of hitting the planet on 16 March, 2880.

Here's some doom with a date! Though I will probably be very old and smelly by the time it hits.
(mods, please delete if I did a repeat, but I didn't find anything)
Can someone please call Bruce Willis and get rid of this thing?

You'll be in a stew before that thing hits. Don't worry Ill make sure the stew has some carrots in it.
In the year 9595, I'm kinda wonderin' if Man is gonna be alive. He's taken everything this old Earth can give, and he ain't put back nothin', whoa-whoa...,
The song describes a nightmarish vision of the future as man's technological inventions gradually dehumanize him.

While tossing small bunnies at large asteroids would be effective at altering the path and saving humanity, you have to ask yourself, is humanity worth saving?

And ... do those small bunnies float?

Bunnies are worth saving...
But not Miley Cyrus.
Throw her at the asteroid.

Just like ducks and very small rocks.
