Some pushback against the Epsilons.

The blameless owners of the Nordic Pineapple in Saint John's, Michigan, have decided that Norway will not be cancelled after all.

People reached out from their own community and across the world but it was a reader from Norway who first suggested what the Offenbeckers viewed as the right solution — a vimpel.

A vimpel is a Swedish term referring to a long, pennant-shaped flag in the colors of a national flag used in Scandinavia. 

While vimpels aren't official national flags, Kjersten Offenbecker said they are often displayed by residents in Norway, an alternative to the country's flag, which can only be displayed there during certain times of day.

It is also worth noting that they quickly put the American flag back up, instead of keeping them both down. I sympathize with the poor folks, and am glad to see that they will run up the full flag of Norway on occasion, too.

But I have no sympathy for the title: "confusion" isn't a synonym for willful ignorance.
