The owner of a sex shop in Spain has been on the receiving end of death threats, abuse, and rather pointless boycotts after he featured a nativity scene painted on ceramic dildos in his front window.
Héctor Valdivielso, who owns the Non Sit Peccatum sex shop near Toledo, commissioned an artist to paint the figures of Joseph, the virgin Mary and baby Jesus on ceramic dildos. And look, while you should definitely get fucked by Jesus at least once in your life, it seemed certain factions of the predominantly Christian country were not happy.
Roughly translated, that reads: “If you don’t remove this display, this serious offence against believer, I catch you and blow you up subnormally. Do you think it’s funny to mock the beliefs of millions of people? Learn the word RESPECT. That you don’t have the balls to offend the Moors? Of course because they would put a bomb on you and tell you when it’s too late? There will be no more notes only worse things. Make my case if you want to make it to 2017. RESPECT ALREADY.”
So anyway, this carried on for a few weeks – despite plenty of people actually loving the display – and eventually Valdivielso grew sick of the abuse and removed the dildos, replacing them instead with a poster asking passersby to vote on whether or not he should reinstate it.
This tale has a (mostly) happy ending: people overwhelmingly voted for the nativity dildos to return.
“People asked me not to give in to blackmail,” said Valdivielso. “So it’s going back in the window.”
