Explicit 'pornaments' back on shelves

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Christmas ornaments featuring reindeer and snowmen in sexual positions are back on store shelves in Jacksonville, Fla., a pastor says.

The decorations, dubbed "pornaments" by some when they triggered protests three years ago, have returned to the holiday ornament aisles of some shops, WJXT-TV reported Tuesday. Instead of a line of six sexually oriented ornaments, just the reindeer and snowmen are being offered this holiday season, the Jacksonville TV station said.

Clint Wilder, the Arlington Family Church pastor who organized protests against the ornaments three years ago, said he is even more disgusted by the items now. He did not say if he was planning to take action against the products resurrected this year.
