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.
