Meet Bernd das Brot. German children's TV star, talking loaf of bread. Philosophiser. If you've spent any time in Germany or nearby countries which air his show, you've likely seen Bernd. And thought, "what the hey?" I have. Too often.Were you aware that Bernd was recently kidnapped from his permanent fixture in front of Erfurt's town hall, his hometown? Probably not. Horrific. Children cried. His kidnappers actually contacted the police. Demands? They were evicted squatters -- give us back our building or Mister Loaf gets it. Really. Bernd appeared on YouTube, sympathizing with his captors. Patty Hearst, Stockholm Syndrome. Stalemate. Standoff.
Fortunately for the children of Erfurt, a group of kids found Bernd in another abandoned building. As for the squatters' former home? Toast. Remodeled. Converted into office space, flats.
