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.

I'd start a petition to have the penis drawn bigger.
Drawn dick and balls were a good luck sign in ancient days.
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
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

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.
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.
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.
Did some prude have a hard on in removing it? Not going soft on the bear penis issue, the population erected a defense.
Good for the bear! I would hate to lose my 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.
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!
In an age where the internet is a sea of porn people are bothered by a realistic depiction of a bear.
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?
The cantonal government was responding to a written question from Liberal Green parliamentarian Thomas Brönnimann, who wondered whether it would not be more appropriate to depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented.
I wish progress was instead defined by people speaking up for themselves and privileged people only supporting them to raise their voice...
