Swedish Lion Castrated by Political Correctness
Posted by Dave Blount at December 13, 2007 7:24 PM
The heraldic lion on the Nordic Battlegroup's coat of arms has been castrated because a group of female soldiers lodged a complaint with the European Court of Justice.
Vladimir Sagerlund, who designed the insignia, is rightfully enraged:
A heraldic lion is a powerful and stately figure with its genitalia intact and I cannot approve an edited image. 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.
The Swedish Crown isn't the only thing that has been betrayed by our willingness to castrate ourselves in the name of political correctness.
Maybe they'd better shave off the lion's mane, too.
On a tip from Bill.
