Two department stores in Stockholm have learned Swedish Christmas shoppers aren’t impressed by mechanized dildo displays and self-pleasuring rabbits.
Most recently, the PUB Corp.’s Oups concept store took down a window display that featured a mannequin whacking a snow shovel on fake snow banks from which dildos popped up at random, the Svenska Dagbladet reported.
Store manager Tommy Johansson said it was popular with tourists, but evidently not with locals.
“Its like this game you see at amusement parks, where woodpeckers pop up and you have to try to club them, he said. It isn’t meant to be taken too seriously.
In another incident late last month, the NK department store was embarrassed when a mechanical display featuring a rabbit broke, and complaints suddenly poured in that the rabbit appeared to sexually pleasuring itself.
The display was dismantled within minutes, the newspaper said.
