X-Rated Christmas Ornaments Cause Controversy
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Six X-rated Christmas ornaments, which can be purchased for $9 at area Spencer's stores and include X-rated snowman and reindeer, have caused controversy, as some concerned citizens want them taken off store shelves.
The back of the boxes say, "Unlike those other elves, we know everyone on the list (even the naughty ones) needs to have a smile and a laugh this time of year."
Store workers said that there were no restrictions on who can purchase the pornaments.
"It is just sad they have to stoop to this kind of thing to defame Christmas," Hillcrest Baptist Church Rev. Jim Patterson told Local 6 News. "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."
Some shoppers said they like the item and that they would make a great gag gift this holiday season. "I think they are kind of funny and they don't offend me," a shopper said in the report.
Officials at Spencer's headquarters had no comment on the items.
The pornaments are also available online.
