Can't they leave Christmas alone?

[Paleo Conservative]

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

"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.

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.

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

Geez, Spencer Gifts? Why is anyone surprised?

For decades Spencer's has always been a trashy, mildly racy, largely kitschy, mainly dumb chain store filled with gag gifts, whoopie cushions, lightweight sex toys (silly stuff, not true adult-store material), black-light posters, and "head-shop" paraphernalia in the back. It's all stuff that's unrestricted. They've had racy Christmas and other various holiday stuff since I was a kid (I'm 54).

There's one in the local mall. Sure, kids can go into it -- nothing there is true "adults-only" over-18 stuff. This is nothing new, nor anything to get upset about. It's just trashy, and there's nothing illegal about trashy tastes.

The "pornaments" in the article look pretty dumb to me. I remember as a kid seeing a light-switchplate painted with a Santa figure so that the switch handle is in the place of the penis. I don't think it did me any harm.

> Can't they leave Christmas alone?

You'll notice they do respect some things. I've seen lots of stuff mocking Santa, elves, reindeer, etc. But I have yet to see anything in Spencer's that was truly defamatory, say a crucifix with Christ being fellated by Mary Magdalene, which I have seen elsewhere (and was pretty shocked by).

Spencer's is a lightweight, and they have limits on what they do.

Satan hates Christ, Jews and Christians.

To answer the question, no, he can't leave Christmas alone.

[Elsie]

Just EYEBROWS??

[sirchtruth]

We sit here and B & M about this stuff, but NEVER DO anything about it as a group of concerned citizens.

It's time we develope statagies to ACT legally and gather as a majority to do whatever we can to effect change.

We know what good standards are, we know what decency is, we know what good manners can bring and we can be silent no more. Or country is being taken over by secularist, selfish prix and we must stop it before there is nothing we CAN do about it.

C'mon people let's stop COMPLAINING about this stuff and start talking about how we can effectively change course before it completely takes over our culture and way of life.

""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."

Reverend, the commercialization of Christmas perverted it's spiritual meaning decades ago. Dec. 25th is the high holy day that every temple of Amercian consumerism from Best Buy to WalMart, etc, honors.

[bondjamesbond]

Who knew Spencer's was still in business?

[discostu]

It's Spencers, they sell dirty stuff. Well actually usually the kind of psuedo-dirty stuff that's popular with 13 year olds. I'm pretty sure they've had this kind of stuff before.

[Gritty]

The only shock here is Bill Clinton isn't the Head Buyer for Christmas Holiday merchandise at Spencer's...

[Silly]

Didn't Hillary decorate a White House tree with these?

[Publius6961]

Well...
Somebody's got to give them tons of free publicity!

[Harleyquinne2525]

Ok These ornaments are suppose to be funny and are meant for adults everything in the store is meant for adults. If these ornaments don't appeal to your sense of humor than thats ok. But a lot of people buy those and other things in the store. And I mean no offense by this comment and I'm not talking about you specifically just people in general, the same people that make these complaints are the ones who run in for birthday or wedding gifts from the stores "love" section hoping not to be seen by anyone. I use to work there for a few years and dealt with people who came in for those things let their kids run wild in the store and then complained about the stores content. Every one knows what kinds of things Spencer's carries, so if you don't like it why go in? And I'm curiouse why this year people are complaining about the ornaments, when for the past 5 years they carried these same ornaments? whats different now?
