Weird But True

These polar bear decorations put the ‘XXX’ in Xmas

This mall in the British Isles wowed shoppers with its Christmas display — but not for its holiday cheer.

The Tynwald Mills shopping center on the Isle of Man featured what would be an adorable polar bear family hanging out with a few penguins among some snow-capped trees — if it wasn’t for the x-rated position the polar bears were placed in last weekend.

“Went to Tynwald Mills today and was quite amused yet disturbed by their placement of their Xmas polar bears,” Twitter user Ruth Hogg tweeted with the hashtag “from behind.”

The display shows a large polar bear standing behind another large polar that is on all fours. A few cubs are also in between the larger bears, which shoppers have been calling the mom and dad of the family.

“It’s the best Christmas display I’ve ever seen! It blatantly looks like they’re doing it doggy-style,” one shopper said, according to The Mirror.

“It looked like they were having sex – no question about it,” another said.

Even worse, a figurine of a black bear was featured across from the display and appears to be gawking at the frisky polar bear couple.

The mall, which is typically “family friendly,” took to Facebook to apologize to customers and said the bears have “had a talking to.”

“We’d like to thank our customers for getting a little too into Christmas this year with our Polar Bears in the atrium and can reassure you the display has changed somewhat since setup,” Tynwald Mills wrote on Sunday.

“Apologies to anybody offended by our somewhat interactive display,” the mall added with the hashtag “naughty bear” and “night at the shopping centre.”

Customers appreciated the mall’s response but enjoyed the laugh while it lasted.

“ I completely understand some people may have been offended by the display and the bears had to be told to refrain themselves,” Sharon Leggate commented on the mall’s Facebook post.

“However I thought it was hilarious and harmless for the short time they were allowed to play mummy and daddy.”
