AirBaltic’s online vote for a name of their new planes was raided by Czechs. Now the plane called “Kunda” (in Czech “P*ssy”) will fly to Prague.

Could be worse. E.g. Kurva.
Gotta love how AirBaltic rolled with the joke instead of discarding the result as these online votes to name something usually end. They’re like, okay, you guys asked for it, so not only will we actually name the plane like that, but we’ll also make sure this plane will fly your way.
This feels kind of like a self-own
I didn’t get the joke behind “The Estonian city of Püssi, whose name can also provoke giggles in Czech, secured the second position” when I read it, I’m taking the giggles come from the word as if it were English rather than Czech?
Well, I guess a lot of Czech people want to check out Kunda irl so it should be a boost for tourism lmao.
It doesn’t mean p#ssy in Czech tho. It means c#nt.
Wait, what does Kundera (the author) mean then?
Funny to see such styles of humour transcend cultures.
This is like John Oliver launching a campaign for Puteketeke to become New Zealand’s bird of the century and getting votes from more countries than there are member states in the United Nations. The organisers also just ran with it and decided to keep all the votes, including over 30 different people voting under the name “John Oliver”.
Democracy in action, I love it!
Kundan in Malayalam means gay😂
The Ford Kuga should have online voting in eastern europe. What is next, Ford Tuberkuloza?
They should fly it to Austrian city of Fucking.

Which, sadly, decided to roll over and change the name to a word that has no meaning in English.
Yeah, Estonians once again acting like their cousins the Finns and not giving a fuck. Good for them!
