It should come as no surprise to anyone that the U.S. city of New Bern has removed the penis from its coat of arms.
So progressive of New Bern, a transgender bear as a mascot.
Oh man - if I start spreading this around town it could be a good way to get them to put the penis back on.
Who is to say the original isn't a futanari?
Haz no tiddies
God, Americans are such sad people.
Yeah yeah, not all of them, but prettyuch all of those with money or power
Somehow the bear's eyerolling expression of despair looks more pronounced now.
Wait, they kept the coat of arms this entire time?
Well, technically they fixed it
What? They made it worse.
"Fix" is a euphemism for "neuter."
Fucking fascistss
Boo to this new bern and their bear penis denial! Where the fuck is New Bern though? Got to be connecticut or some shit am I right?
North Carolina. Was the capitol once. Where Pepsi was invented.
Don’t sell us short. We also have the worlds largest Harris Teeters as well as the Guinness world record for largest open sandwich (a barbecue pork bun)
It's the right to bear arms, not bear dongs
I wonder why they didn't also remove the 'Edward Penis-hands' while they were at it.
Just need a red magic marker to adjust them.
FYI, this design has been penisless since it was founded.
So New Bern is pro trans? Will they replace the penis with a handgun?
The town where Pepsi cola was invented
I'd start a petition to have the penis drawn bigger.
As a symbol of progress
Drawn dick and balls were a good luck sign in ancient days.
And in modern toilets
Romans used to draw a cock and balls over their doorways for good luck.
It's good to see Switzerland upholding the right to bear penis.
Let it hang, Switzerland.
fun fact: the doblerone logo contains a hidden bear in reference to the city of bern
Toblerone has also hidden much of the chocolate that used to come in the bars.
It used to, they had to stop using the Matterhorn in their logo because they left Switzerland
Weird that their official website still features it:
https://tobleronechocolate.com/
I don't see much official about that website. This one seems a bit more legit if you ask me: https://www.mondelezinternational.com/our-brands/toblerone/
But also feel free to look up their logo change, many websites reported on it.
Deserved. The Matterhorn isnt in Bern.
oh wow... TIL
The new font is still so ugly to me.
Besides everything else that's ugly about them recently. The shrinking is also embarassing, and the product not as good anymore.
Does the hidden bear still have it's penis?
Good for the bear! I would hate to lose my penis.
Normally I'm pro-democracy but they make some good points here
This was officially brought into Parlament as a 'question'. Answering it without any aditional actions, is exactly how this is supposed to be handled.
imagine having so few real problems that you have time to be upset about coat of arms bear penis
With that shape and color, It looks like a bear claw is stuck in his penis. No wonder he's making that face.
Now I understand why there is a claw on its crotch. It's not a claw.
Frankly, I am quite disappointed at what I was expecting to be a much more prominent phalus
How would a bear without a penis represent more people than a bear with a penis?
I bet if the bear had tits nobody would be sniveling about it.
Did some prude have a hard on in removing it? Not going soft on the bear penis issue, the population erected a defense.
Woke leftists want to force trans ideology on swiss bears
Dear God! No NSFW tag? That gigantic red bear penis is now seared into my memory until my dying day.
Please Mr. Trump, save us from the bear penis, send the seventh fleet to Switzerland!
Where penis?
its kinda funny because i may have seen that before and I don't think I would have ever noticed without it being pointed out. Now much like rita repulsas boob cones I can't unsee it.
Not much to do in Bern politics it seems...
Never noticed it until you pointed it out ...
Can't spell Bern (Swiss) without Benis
If a bear wore pants...
In an age where the internet is a sea of porn people are bothered by a realistic depiction of a bear.
Bern, Switzerland -- sponsored by Cialis.
Horay!! Look Berno, they’re not gonna give you a vasectomy! You’re gonna keep ur peener! :)
Wait, they remove the entire penis in vasectomies now?
You want a mistake child in this economy?
No but you won’t be frolicking on the flag with a boner anytime soon
I wish progress was instead defined by people speaking up for themselves and privileged people only supporting them to raise their voice...
They didn't have furry artists back then
If that's true, who gave the bear an ahegao face?
That's just how they look there
I'd like to see you eat a bunch of fly agaric and draw a better one.
