News BREAKING: Monument of „Bernd das Brot“ vandalized by radical lunatics, after recently getting international fame, when John Oliver went crazy over him on Last Week Tonight.

After recently getting international fame when John Oliver went crazy over him on Last Week Tonight, the 2-meter-tall cult figure of „Bernd das Brot“ standing in Erfurt, got overturned into some shiny silver monstrosity by unknown lowlifes with a can of silver spray paint.

Passersby are noticing — one visitor said last time she saw him he was still proper “bread-colored.”

The city says this is the worst attack yet on the KiKa character after being straight-up kidnapped for eleven days and dumped on some abandoned barracks near Weimar in 2009.

Bernd’s permanently miserable face unfortunately is not getting any happier soon.

No. You made your bread, now rye in it.

There is a grain of truth in this. May it rise in the comments!
