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." 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. However, 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." The pornaments are also available online. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
