    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.

      Just need a red magic marker to adjust them.

      FYI, this design has been penisless since it was founded.

    The bear has always been depicted on official documents with a red phallus. In view of this tradition, the cantonal government believed that it was reasonable to continue to depict the bear in this way. Nor did it wish to conduct an online survey on the bear’s future appearance. In its view, such a survey would not be representative and would have little informative value.

    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.

    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!
