Pornaments: Putting the X in X-mas

This little “pornament” segment was so good that we had to write about it in a separate post – it could be Michelle Boudin’s crowning achievement. As y’all know, Boudin is leaving any day now to go to work in Charlotte.

And we also know Boudin is the resident sex-story reporter. So Boudin couldn’t resist when someone told her to check out the pornaments at Spencer’s Gifts in the Ashvegas Mall. Boudin bought several of the X-rated, anatomically correct little gingerbread men Frosty figurines and showed them to people downtown.

One woman said the pornaments were disgusting, but giggled the whole time. We think she actually really liked them. Another guy didn’t really like the nekkid Ms. Claus, and said scoldingly, “What a way to objectify women.” Another person of unknown gender told Michelle that Christmas is about Jesus, not sex, and the pornaments are a disgrace.

Boudin stressed that the pornaments were being sold in the store in plain view and apparently no restrictions, so children could come by and check them out. Back at the anchor desk, Larry “Smoka” Blunt got all up on his high horse, shaking his head and noting with disgust that children? children could see these ornaments. His snort of disgust threw Diva Darcel off her game. She had to wait for Larry’s head-shaking to stop to continue.

Thanks for a classic, Michelle!

I hated the jack ass in that pornament story who said "Wow…way to objectify women! I don’t even think this is funny".

First of all, get a sense of humor. Secondly, the ornaments are of BOTH SEXES YOU MORON.

Third, stop being the stereotypical pseudo sensitive acoustic guitar on the quad asheville deucebag.

Cuuuuute!

Are they just anatomically correct, or do they have Santa humping Vixen pornaments too?

The "unknown gender" interview is female, and apparently her miserable life extends to not having even so much as a hint of a sense of humor. Sorry — friend of mine had an unpleasant run-in with her and her partner awhile back.
