Leo's Swedish penectomy

It's political correctness gone mad. In response to protests from women the Swedish army has removed the lion's penis from it's emblem.

While the Local incorrectly calls this a castration either way you look at it it's insane. I especially like this quote:
"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.

So far I haven't been able to ascertain how much this process has cost the taxpayer but I'd love to know.

I read about this, and it is just another example of political correctness gone insane in the membrane. Honestly, what do they really think that achieves? One pissed off lion, I'd imagine.
