Children will love it

"Why do you hate love, America?"

Best line in the history of webcomics.

@Lheticus Haha I agree! Totally made me chuckle.

The theme park(and the mascots) was made based on the BonBon candy. The candy was know for the naughty names and and the equally naughty drawings accopanying the names on the candy. The candy was/is a big hit because children found the names funny to say, because they were all naughty or nasty and did not sound like anything you would want to eat, like Dog-farts. I think it was actually the owner of the company's son who got to name most of the candy. The cow is from the candy called Big Boobies.. hence the big boobs.. Around 2001 the company(not including the theme park) was bought by another company, and some of the more naughty ones, like Big Boobies and Naughty Bums(that's the pig by the way) got new and less provocative names. When they then later tried to stop the production of the remaining still slightly naughty candy, the puplic was furious and the candy went back on the shelves. We just can't live without our naughty candy! This ended up being seriuosly long.. Sorry ;)

"This ended up being seriuosly long.. Sorry ;)"

Don't be. It was interesting.

@idunnpil GOOD! if i were in denmark id buy bonbon candies for the fun and the candy; i dont want to spend money on shame. >=(

hmph. i wonder if i can get some imported just out of spite lol XD

Yeah, Denmark was far from prudish in the past, but the world is becoming more and more so, and I really blame America for it :P
I mean seriously take the whole breast feeding in public thing? same thing here.

Oh no a cow that has breasts and nipples! really? so what? never seen breasts or nipples before?
This whole thing with prudishness is going way overboard of late, somehow people can't laugh at things like this any more? and it goes beyond that, just sad

@xondk
Yeah, the Denmark I knew is dissapearing...but i also guess that with any action there comes a reverse reaction.
Back in the 1980ties everyone know what naked people looked like, and we were even taught about how babies are made in kindergarden with many biological details.
Not my generation is grown and raising families... and many might have thought it TOO MUCH in their childhood, so now they are going in the complete opposite direction.

@SnigePippi
Yeah it is quite sad, and is only making things worse, because people that might not share the same view or whatever of not only nudity and such but other things are ostracised from the community, and is just plain and simply disgusting, and no wonder you hear people all over the world being lonely. Maybe just maybe because of the standards in behaviour have gotten out of control, and that's not even factoring in the whole style and being "cool" and all that. Everyone is trying to be all of it and everyone is failing because if one group likes you because of x another group will hate your guts because of that same thing. Gives headaches.

@xondk
Multikulti society lacks social cohesion and brings about conflicts. It was to be expected.

Going to defend this, too?

@Unka_Oogie
It looks funny and he is clearly portrayed as happy? You have to realize that in a lot of comics from Denmark it was how they were portrayed, but it had nothing to do with slavery or such, but everything to do with caricature. African's can be entirely black in skin color, there's nothing racial about that, but it is a fact. Notice he is wielding a spear and shield, he's a warrior, Khoikhoi warrior to be specific. He's not a slave, he's not being demeaned in any way, and in Danish comics, often represented exactly as such. So it seems to be a perfect caricature of those people?

However yes things have changed and now people get offended by how anything looks way before they actually think about what the thing means and symbolizes... so yeah..

@xondk Tbh that whole deal wasn´t more than a single guy wanting attention. Thankfully we haven´t gotten to the point of automaticly caving in to idiots like that. Especially when you can make quite clear arguments as to why it is depicted the way it is. Unfortunately there are people from other places who wants to impose their ideals on other cultures even when it isn´t something harmful.

@Unka_Oogie

*Looks at comment.*

....

*Looks at American flag*

Yeah seems about right...

@xondk You need to understand that the United States was in large part founded by religious fanatics fleeing Europe to create their "city on a hill" utopias. While Europe lost the radical elements that could have hindered progress the US was inundated by those radical Europeans. We are still a young nation and still dealing with that legacy. Give us some credit. In the last 200 years we have made remarkable progress towards liberalizing and normalizing sex. Just look at the popularity of game of thrones. I don't really see how it is fair to blame the US for changing the attitude in Denmark. Since when have the danes ever wanted to emulate our repressed attitudes? If they do then that is their choice not an imposition from the US.

@thirsha42
I suppose this is true, though it is still rather frustrating, I suppose it can be from America being so idolized as 'perfect' by many, which really I don't understand, I mean sure good country and whatnot, but not without its flaws. I suppose it could be said that US has good marketing.
Though I want to be clear the thing I'm only blaming US for is the reactions you see to this sort of thing, acting as if Denmark is doing great injustice to people at the mere glance at something without figuring out what is actually going on, or they don't share that view then Denmark is 'bad' 'wrong', frustratingly annoying.

I love that last panel, where Denmark just gives America a "really?" look, and America is looking back with a "yeah, really" look.
But I will say, I have visited America, and Nudity is to Danes as Guns and Violence is to Americans. I mean that Danes are more used to nudity, and America is used to guns.
I can just imagine a Comic where Denmark is saying "You think that a person being clothed is more dangerous than allowing everyone to have a gun?"
And America responds "You think that giving people the right to defend themselves with arms is more horrifying than having stripper statues in a children's park?" Different cultures colliding, no one is right, no one is wrong...

@Generalwater Well, yeah, but fact still remains, you can't die from being exposed to nudity. Nudity IS factually much less dangerous than guns.

@pointpointpoint Guns are not dangerous. America has a gang and drug problem not a gun problem. The war on drugs and the war on poverty are responsible for the vast majority of the violence in the US. My guns are sad, they just sit in my safe collecting dust and getting little love (no shooting ranges nearby). They are not a threat and as a gun owner I am not more likely to cause violence. As for nudity... have you seen us recently? We are one of the most obese nations on the planet. I am very thankful that I do not have to be subjected to a bunch of my fat countrymen walking around in public.

Everyone, well... mostly overprotective parents, or politicians pandering to same... seems willing and eager to warp the reality of the world if it will prevent children from being exposed to any sort of sexuality, in recent decades.

Yet, the truth is, almost all of that flies right over children's heads, without being noticed or remembered.

I look after a 73 year old man, and he was telling me he'd recently re-watched a number of Betty Boop cartoons that he'd seen as a child, and never once realized there was anything sexual about them. Go check Youtube for them yourselves. It's amazing to look at them now from the perspective of our sex-adverse culture of today... and even more amazing to realize their blatant "offensiveness" had precisely zero effect on developing children, because the more adult contexts of the cartoons simply didn't register to them at all.

I have an idea of why.

Many of the original settlers of the US were religious, and thought their country's church was corrupt. That led to a lot of religious people settling in colonial times. Another reason is in the 50s. After the Second World War and a possible third, family values were heavily emphasized in the US, one of which was going to church with your family. It was the kind of "wholesome" thing you did back then.
It's weird. It seems the US is one of the most prudish nations upfront, but I wouldn't doubt the US is in the top 5 for both watching and producing pornography in the world.

@ConnecticutMan I'm a Brit immigrant to the US. It's insane. Even the "liberal" Americans are obsessed with the subject.

Not sure about the top 5. Saudi Arabia likely has the most per capita, and the US imports a lot of European and Asian porn.

Lol! I really love Denmark when he said, "Why do you hate love America?"

I used to go there all up to I was 14, and I never thought about it in that way, it was just something I would see as funny :/

I never thought about anything else than funny mascots every time i go to BonBon land so i always think it's funny to see people freak out about the mascots there xD

kinda annoying actually, how parents are oversensitive about what might affect their precious babies

@SchrodySweden Bonbon are tasty but harmful to teeth, but Americans look at something other than teeth...

@Suominoita oh yes. I forgot the best part, that it's highly focused in exactly the wrong places
