When “Pornaments” are outlawed, only outlaws will have “pornaments” (and they are welcome to them): “The selling of sexually explicit tree ornaments called ‘Pornaments’ at a chain of novelty stores across Florida has led a Miami lawyer to ask stores to stop sales, or else face legal action.” The ornaments portray Mr. and Mrs. North Pole, reindeer and Frosty the Snowman in what the story calls “sexually risque positions.” Oddly, nowhere in the story does it give the name of said stores. The lawyer in question is Jack Thompson (see Thompson, lunacy of here), who has never met a situation that couldn’t be improved by a lawsuit and a microphone.- Elsewhere in Florida … A singing Santa statue was decapitated and Baby Jesus was literally cut out of the Shalimar Presbyterian Church’s wooden Nativity display in Fort Walton Beach. We will have a tremendous wave of these crimes in the coming 18 days and I am soooo glad. They’re close to one of my favorite parts of the season.
- Does this go for the Advent Calendar, too? A South Carolina mom called the cops after her 12-year-old opened one of his presents early. I think Santa will file them both under naughty.
