Guest MrRant Posted December 14, 2002 Report Posted December 14, 2002 CAPE TOWN, South Africa (Reuters) - A star reindeer in a South African shopping mall's Christmas display lost a little of its seasonal pride and joy after complaints from shoppers. Managers at one of Cape Town's upscale malls, "castrated" the plastic animal after receiving complaints about shiny golden Christmas tree ornaments hanging between its hind legs, officials said Thursday. Hein Conradie, a spokesman for the company which made the display, told the Cape Argus newspaper that the ornaments were "anatomically correct for an animal of that size" and were prominent because of the reindeer's central position in the display. "Generally, we find it wiser to use sexless reindeer," Conradie said. Some people are so uptight.

It's still pretty amusing, though. Especially since someone bothered to figure out if it was proportionate to a reindeer of that size.
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted December 14, 2002 Report Posted December 14, 2002 I found it wierder that some company is producing anatomically correct plastic reindeer. What's the deal with *that*?
