New Zealand bank censors racy fan art of sexy new sheep mascot
Kiwibank launched Buck, a cartoon sheep with green wool, to attract customers to New Zealand's state-owned bank. After viral X posts sexualised the mascot with crude jokes about New Zealanders, Kiwibank issued copyright takedown requests, replacing the images with a disabled-media notice. Fan artists responded by flooding the bank with more Buck art, while the Free Speech Union cited fair use. Spokesman Ben Mabon said the bank was addressing explicit and harmful content.
