After many conflicting reports Bernd das Brot, the talking loaf of bread that became famous in the German children's channel Kinder Kanal, was released yesterday after many days of captivity.

The Kinder Kanal star was kidnapped in Erfurt by the so-called "129 A-TEAM" on January 21st "to protest their eviction from an occupied building". The tension increased when his image was broadcasted in a home-made video. After the video was released Bernd's creator, Tommy Krappweis, voiced his concerns that Bernd could be experiencing Stockholm syndrome and could be turned over by the captors. Fortunately, the Police found the cult figure in a cellar in Thueringen last Sunday, thereby bringing his captivity to an end.
