[Tender Branson]

A cake showing WTC-like towers of SPÖ/ÖVP and FPÖ/Green/NEOS planes crashing into it:

Thoughts ?

It's funny.

Also, 9/11 was bad, obviously.

[Mr. Morden]

Instead, I think he should have made a cake depicting the two parties as two giant basements with the Krampus crashing into them.

As a supporter of freedom of speech, I support his right to make this cake.

Doesn't make it any less disgusting and tasteless.

[Ebsy]

Obviously a tasteless design, but he has every right to be an asshole.

Austrians have a bizarre sense of humor.

I'm sure it tastes good.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Austrians are good liars...they have everyone convinced Beethoven was an Austrian and that Hitler was a German.

And now this pipsqueak wants to convince you the twin towers with planes flying into them resulting in the death of 3000 people from around the globe actually represents his upsettedness at Austrian domestic politics.

But then outside of composing, Mozart was a poop obsessed fool, and their crowning achievement out of Braunau started a war that killed 27 million people 25 years after their prince got shot and started, in the words of limey soldiers everywhere, the "Great Big F**k Up"...so original thought should perhaps stay suppressed in Austria.

Is it still too soon?

[Maxwell]

I got a good chuckle out of this. Get your panties out of your respective wads, America.

Reported self for sexism.

[Oak Hills]

That's a very strange metaphor.

The idea that FPO represents anything seperate from the 'establishment' is more offensive to me.

Of course, in the grand scheme of European offensive cakes this is nothing compared to that time a few years ago when the Swedish minister of culture was filmed stabbing a 'Screaming African Cake'. Now that was an offensive pudding.
