'Why Kmart?': Shoppers notice hidden X-rated details on retailer's Christmas collection!

As the festive season approaches, Australians are decking the halls and getting into the Christmas spirit.

It's a time for joy and traditions spent with family, including the playful Elf on the Shelf game.

However, one shopper's recent discovery added an unexpected twist to the holiday preparations, leaving some raising eyebrows.


A shopper named Cassie was on the hunt for an affordable elf decoration to join in on the Elf on the Shelf fun.

To her surprise, she stumbled upon a $5 Mini Elf Decoration at Kmart that featured a rather 'distinctive' nose.

Cassie took to social media to ask if other shoppers found the figurine's phallic-shaped nose 'inappropriate' for a family-friendly holiday decor.

'I've been looking for an elf now; delete if it's too inappropriate, but um, why Kmart?' Cassie remarked.

The post, accompanied by a photo of the cheeky elf, quickly sparked a flurry of reactions.

Kmart shoppers chimed in with witty comments.

'He is very happy to see you,' one commented.

Another poked fun at the design and playful comparisons to the fictional puppet Pinocchio.


The conversation did not stop at mere jokes.

Some shoppers speculated about the functionality of the elf.

'If you press the magic buzzer he is holding, then what happens?' one asked.

Cassie responded, 'I don't think I even want to know.'

She herself found the situation amusing.

'My first thought was, "Oh my, what a big nose you have".'

'I wasn't tempted to buy it as a joke, but it would be a good way to call someone a d*******."


However, she also pointed out the lack of a 'quality check' at Kmart, given the decoration's potentially inappropriate appearance.

For those who prefer a more traditional take on the holiday elf, Kmart offers the classic Elf on the Shelf book and toy bundle for $55.

They also have the World's Smallest Elf in the Shelf Toy for $10.

This incident is a reminder that sometimes, even the most innocent holiday decorations could take on a life of their own.

It's also a testament to the power of humour in navigating unexpected situations.

As the holiday season rolls in, keep an eye out for quirky finds that could add an extra layer of laughter to the festivities.

SERIOUSLY!!!!! What is it with people these days that they have to find offence with anything and everything? This is as bad as all the people in Wyndham Shire who complained about a mural that was being painted in one of their laneways a few years back. It featured flowers, and people complained that they were phallic, but none of them obviously bothered to actually Google those flowers. The artist painted them exactly as they are in nature and the council knew what he was painting before he started, but under pressure from the public, he had to re-do these flowers. Typically, unless someone pointed it out to you, you would only have seen beautiful flowers, nothing more.
Unfortunately, media has made the situation worse because they always have to draw peoples attention to all these morons and their "offensive" item/s. If media ignored them, most of it would die off. Instead the media seems intent on giving everyone their 15 minutes of fame no matter the reason.
 
I really starting to understand why I still haven't signed up & pay for the so called better stuff.
Really starting to think about opting out all together as it just getting more crapper each day. Not much to read in this anymore or things relevant to my age group.

Agree ... beginning to look more like an offshoot of the No Idea or the Woman's Daze more and more.
