When Amazon owner Jeff Bezos gets his $500 million mega-yacht in June, it may come primed in egg yolk.
More than 1,200 Dutch protesters have organized to shell the big boat with eggs when it passes through the port city of Rotterdam.
The historic Koningshaven Bridge is supposed to be dismantled so Bezos’ more than 400-foot long vessel, which is being assembled in Alblasserdam, Netherlands, can pass through en route to its billionaire owner.
The nearly century-old bridge hangs 131 feet above water level, which may not be high enough for Bezos’ trio of masts to pass under safely.
“Calling all Rotterdammers, take a box of rotten eggs with you and let’s throw them en masse at Jeff’s superyacht when it sails through the Hef in Rotterdam,” a Facebook page read according to reports.
“The Hef” is how locals know the Koningshaven Bridge, which was built in 1927.
“Rotterdam was built from the rubble by the people of Rotterdam, and we don’t just take that apart for the phallic symbol of a megalomaniac billionaire,” protesters continued on Facebook. “Not without a fight!”
A spokesman for the mayor of Rotterdam told AFP that Bezos, whose worth $175 billion, would have to pay to have The Hef dismantled and reassembled. He also said getting there are no other options for getting the monster yacht to open water.
“It’s the only route to the sea,” the spokesman said.
