Jagermeister does not offend religion, court rules

The logo for Jägermeister alcohol is not religiously offensive, a Swiss court has ruled.

The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property had blocked efforts by the German spirit brand to expand its trademark to cosmetics and entertainment services.But Swiss federal judges ruled in favour of Jägermeister. The Federal Administrative Court ruled that the"intensive" use of the logo had"weakened its religious character" over time, making the chance of genuine offence unlikely,The logo refers to the legend of St Hubertus, the 'Apostle of the Ardennes', who is said to have converted to Christianity one Good Friday in the 8th century after witnessing a stag with a crucifix between its antlers.

Jägermeister can now use its logo on a wide-range of products in Switzerland including cosmetics, mobile phones, or telecommunications services.Nigeria's rising nightlife and alcoholic industry

Christians are offensive. The bible is a book of lies. Priests abuse children. Hypocrites

I'm offended by the BBC calling itself a news source

Another day, and another “woke” news bite from the BBC in their ever increasing quest to appear relevant 😳

It's a circle, some antlers and a cross.... Or to summarize: O dear god

Thought this kinda rubbish only happens in Malaysia.

WTF? People need to chill. Everyone getting offended by everything is ridiculous. The freakin world is acting like America.

So what if they are? Fuck 'em. Being offended doesn't give you rights.
