X-Rated 'Pornament' Christmas Decorations Raise Eyebrows
WKMG-TV Local 6 ^ | December 1, 2006 | Staff

Posted on 12/03/2006 10:30:31 PM PST by FreedomCalls

Several new holiday decorations considered X-rated are being sold in Florida at a store popular with young children, according to a report. ...

Six controversial ornaments, which can be purchased for $9 at Spencer's stores in Jacksonville and other parts of Florida, include an X-rated snowman and reindeer.

A television station reported that the pornaments can be found on store shelves at the Regency Square Mall in Jacksonville in plain view of children and to anyone who walks into the Spencer's stores.

Store workers said that there were no restrictions on who can purchase the pornaments in the store.

"It is just sad they have to stoop to this kind of thing to defame Christmas," Hillcrest Baptist Church Rev. Jim Patterson said. "It says we are nothing more than sexual acts or psychical being and we are much more than that. We are spiritual beings and this is a spiritual holiday. And, why bring it to that level. It makes no sense to me."

Sounds like the White House Xmas tree when Clinton was president.

Sad commentary on the state of our country. How spiritually bankrupt.

"Spenser's...a store popular with young children"

If they mean those under 18 and younger I'd ask what parents are allowing them to enter? The stuff is trashy.

Amen! So far from the reason we REALLY celebrate. Sad indeed.

Spencer's can't buy this kind of advertisement. It seems to me that if you really wanted to keep them from selling the 'pornaments', you'd ignore them. This story will send people flocking to Spencer's to find them.

I wonder if this is anything like the Spencer's gift stores when I was a kid. The front had t shirts and gifts and such, but the back was a head shop. The gift section was the type of stuff to attract young teens.

After I figured them out, I wouldn't ever go in there, but I always had more than my share of common sense.

It sent me to the spencersonline.com, but sadly the site appears to be down at the moment.

I guess all that outrage wasn't too healthy for their server, so I'll have to check back tomorrow.

"Christmas Goes Topless." I think I'll skip that image before I barf my next dinner.

Its Spencer's. They sell gag gifts and toys. How is this shocking or sad?

(When a lady brought a 'toy' back and said it didn't work...I had to tell her that it needed C batteries...hahaha)

Batteries are for wimps.

The grown up toys at Lurker Central are all two-cycle pull start models. They're a bit more expensive but they last and last and last...

Did they grab these off Hillary Clinton's White House Christmas tree? Wonder if someone took pictures.
