Sweden’s Army Castrates Its Lion Symbol

Submitted by Roy on Tue, 2007-12-18 16:42

Story here. Excerpt:

"Protests from female soldiers have led to the Swedish military removing the penis of a heraldic lion depicted on the Nordic Battlegroup's coat of arms.
...
"We were given the task of making sure the willy disappeared," Christian Braunstein from the army's 'tradition commission' said.
...
"The army lacks knowledge about heraldry. Once upon a time coats of arms containing lions without genitalia were given to those who betrayed the Crown," said Sagerlund.
...
"We were forced to cut the lion's willy off with the aid of a computer," he added.

The Nordic Battlegroup is one of eighteen such military groups in the European Union."

What's really stupid is he still has his mane, it's no lioness, it's still blatantly a lion. "Gender Equality" has not been achieved. It's obvious the issue is simply fear of the cock. These women are phalliphobic otherwise wouldn't they have protested the fact the whole lion is male?

Hey, this is some sort of early April Fool's joke...right?

It can't be true because it is so obviously STUPID!

Now we know how far the Swiss will go to be truly neutral: They will cut off their own peckers.

But really...this HAS to be a gag, right?

They can't be SO without eggs???

Can they???

....and you will quickly discover that there is nothing on Earth considered more offensive or more reviled then the penis.

Just a sad sad truth.
