Oslo shoppers don't mind racy Santa

A clothing store in downtown Oslo decided on an avant-garde window-dressing display to welcome in the Christmas season. Borrowing a few inflatable dolls from the condom specialists next door, the shop staged an unorthodox display.
One doll is dressed as Santa from the waist up. The other is on its knees in front of Father Christmas, with its face buried under Santa's red velvet gown. A sign proclaims: 'Santa Klauz is coming soon!'

"This is going too far," Laila Hansen told newspaper VG's web site. She thought the display was a prank that would provoke the wrath of the shop owner. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Hugo Grimsrud, manager of the clothing store on Oslo's main street, Karl Johan's Gate, told VG Nett that the display was carefully planned.

"I think we've been very clever," Grimsrud said. "Of course I understand that some may offended but the idea is to be humorously provocative. We have started our countdown to Christmas and Santa is coming!"

Employee Jackline Rodrigues claims that the reactions have been uniformly positive during the three days it has been on show.

"Most people think it's cool. But I have heard some older people on the street that think we have gone too far. But this is humor. We shouldn't take everything so seriously," said salesgirl Rodrigues.

Most of the passersby told VG Nett that they didn't find the window display offensive, and some didn't even notice it.

If only America were like that. People tried to sue one of our local tattoo and percing shops because there are two stuffed bears out front with humanesque features...and EVERYTHING pierced. The male bear was *pierced* about 4-5 times. THe bears are still on display, though. But it has been one of the most controversial things in our city for quite a while....not to mention the public nipple piercings...

Maybe Santa's "helper" was one of his Special Comfort Elves?

Well, in some ways Norway is a great country to live in, but we do have some drawbacks aswell..

Our primeminister is a Priest !! and his party the Christian People Party has far too much power in our country. This is the cause of endless grief for some of us....

Talk about weirdo contradictions...can have Santa do that and it's a minor uproar(my god, I don't wanna even know what would happen here...probably more than a few mother dying out of sheer shock)

But having a priest has the head of politics cannot be good for the mind or stress.
