My first thought was that the jumper is describing a sexual predator. That's not what I look for in a Christmas jumper, tbh Confused

No it’s a Santa reference

You need a gin Gin

Wilburissomepig · 17/11/2017 22:39

Creepy as fuck.

LaurieFairyCake · 17/11/2017 22:39

It’s from the SONG

Furgggggg12 · 17/11/2017 22:40

Is from the song Santa Claus is coming to town and is referring to Santa seeing people shit faced.

Is ugly AF but no other inferences.

What is it with the obsession with being offended

LaContessaDiPlump · 17/11/2017 22:40

I get that it's a Santa reference (and tbf I have seen a lot of licentious/just plain filthy Christmas jumpers) but this one seems to cross the line between 'I see how that could be funny' and 'FUCK'.

It's just a rewording of a classic Christmas song! It's a bit icky, but the words 'sexual predator' do not sprung to mind!!

FlashTheSloth · 17/11/2017 22:41

Personally I hate it because children can read, and I don't want them reading the word shitfaced on someone's clothes.

Fluffywhitecloud · 17/11/2017 22:42

You have too much time on your hands

AppleKatie · 17/11/2017 22:42

It's got a shit review, and it's a shit jumper on account of not being very warm with the bare shoulder.

But the quote made me laugh it's about the well known Christmas song.

I wouldn't want it on my jumper but you know, it takes all sorts...

LaContessaDiPlump · 17/11/2017 22:42

I wasn't looking to be offended fluffy - I read it and thought Shock, just like that. The emotion magically happened.

I have been doing a lot of training though.

I thought it was funny at first and then I was a tad creeped out by it.

RedHelenB · 17/11/2017 22:43

He sees you when you're sleeping he knows when you're awake is replaced by these lyrics. Not sure what the problem is?

LaContessaDiPlump · 17/11/2017 22:44

Maybe the issue is that I've always thought the original song is creepy as fuck too.... saw it referenced in one too many teen thrillers Grin

Confused Wtf has it got to do with sexual predators?! Surely it's more a moral judgement thing - santa is judging whether you deserve presents. And if you've been drinking loads and been shitfaced, maybe you don't! I agree about thd language and think it's a horrible jumper though.

HotelEuphoria · 17/11/2017 23:02

More and more I wonder what the fuck I read mumsnet for. Are there really so many people full of such angst over nothing.

I only hang around for the parking threads, I bloody loves a parking thread I do.

MammaTJ · 17/11/2017 23:05

Nope, not about sex at all, nothing makes me think of sexual predators.

Judgements, yes, sexual predators, no!

I am going to have another drink, not to get shitfaced, you understand, just to relax and unwind!

sickandtiredofbeing · 17/11/2017 23:07

Santa IS creepy

"He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake...."

and parents let their DC sit on this guy's lap???? Grin

LaContessaDiPlump · 17/11/2017 23:39

Oh Lord. I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry for posting an idle query. I am clearly wrong to think the way I do. I do hope this has not spoiled too many people's evenings.

Thank you and goodnight.

FFS OP forget the night I think it’s ruined the whole rest of my year, Christmas is ruined! ShockHmmWink

Chicoletta · 18/11/2017 00:37

Nout so queer as folk, indeed.

Redglitter · 18/11/2017 00:48

Sexual predators? Hmm

Folk really do go out their way to see things that aren't there.

OP, that's hugely creepy. What is wrong with people? A girl is having a drink at a party and a weird guy is watching her from behind a pot plant, waiting to make his move. How do you not see this, mumsnet????

ReanimatedSGB · 18/11/2017 01:40

Well, I wouldn't buy or wear that, but it seemed to me to be more along the lines of all those endless, tiresome slogan goods that say things like 'More wine' and 'I love prosecco' etc. Basically a reference to getting drunk is fun.

In fact, this is one of those items that is going to turn up in Secret Santas for colleagues who don't like each other, isn't it?
