Walmart pulls offensive Christmas sweater

The ugly Christmas sweater trend has taken a dark turn. This past week, Walmart had to apologize for its adults-only Christmas sweater that appeared on the Canadian website. The sweater in question showed Santa sitting on a couch, ready to nail some lines of cocaine. The description reads, “We all know how snow works. It’s white, powdery and the best snow comes straight from South America. That’s bad news for jolly old St. Nick, who lives far away in the North Pole. That’s why Santa really likes to savor the moment when he gets his hands on some quality, grade A, Colombian snow.”

Alright, maybe as a society we apologize too much, but this one is pretty bad. We had assumed that it just by happenstance that the sweater looked like Santa was doing cocaine, but no, the description makes it painfully clear that Santa IS doing cocaine.

Walmart pulled the sweater from the website and let it be known that this sweater does not represent their values. We’re not sure if we’d be more or less inclined to shop at Walmart if these were their values.
