Michigan Bed And Breakfast Owners Remove Norwegian Flag After Backlash

Idiots rule.

A couple who runs a bed and breakfast near Lansing, Michigan, removed a display of the Norwegian flag after passersby repeatedly mistook it for the Confederate battle flag.
quote:
The flag received little attention since they moved to the property in 2018, but the turmoil roiling the country in recent weeks has seen the Offenbeckers’ inbox flooded with “at least a dozen hateful emails,” and even more disapproving comments.
Kjersten Offenbecker told the local paper that she first heard members of the community were murmuring about her Norwegian flag when she was visiting a shop downtown. “I was so happy at first,” she said, recounting when a shop owner mentioned that he had heard people talking about her bed and breakfast. But then she learned that they were saying she was flying a rebel flag. “We were panicked initially because we were like, ‘Oh my Gosh. This town thinks that we’re hanging the Confederate flag,'” she said.
Idiots rule.

Watching this country flush itself down the toilet has become quite the amusing past time.

I hooked up with a Norwegian chick one time in a Latin American country. We just made out but it was fun. That's my Norwegian story. I like that song by the Beatles too.

She should have told them to go "Unnskyld flergen å være midt i smørøyet" themselves, am I right?

I damn sure would not take it down.
I would explain that I’m Norwegian and it’s the countries national flag.
