Please tell me I'm not alone in seeing swimming sperm?

I now see peni to the left!!

I innocently and very excited hit the JL site to look at the fresh Christmas page on their website, checking out what's new this season. A fair few things are new and uncensored it seems! Glad it's not just my filthy mind playing tricks on me but others seeing the same.

Think I shall have to buy some for all my inlaws along with this Scandi pillow:

When I was a teen I was always baffled by a banner they had up on the church altar that quite clearly showed a cross made up of different coloured sperm Confused heaven knows what it was intended to represent!

The bauble seems especially inappropriate for Christmas as presumably the Immaculate Conception did not involve sperm - any theologists about? Maybe it’s a men’s rights thing because eggs get celebrated at Easter.

Dalek. Exterminate.

Glittery sperm

user327854831 · 22/09/2017 16:49

I showed my young teenager who just grinned. I think he sees it Grin

Balfe · 22/09/2017 16:54

It's an accurate representation of Highland precipitation, huge and sideways Grin

blackteasplease · 22/09/2017 17:01

Yes, sperm

blackteasplease · 22/09/2017 17:02

Ironic as Christmas is supposed to celebrate someone being born without the involvement of sperm. For those who like religion and that.

StaplesCorner · 22/09/2017 17:06

I like the labia. (just the felt Christmas ones) (I mean I have nothing against labia in general but those are particularly fetching and of course, seasonal)

StaplesCorner · 22/09/2017 17:07

Balfe - huge and sideways

* sigh *

Shockers · 22/09/2017 17:10

I'm going to buy several. Christmas is coming... I like that.

Soubriquet · 22/09/2017 17:22

GrinGrin

I showed dh it..he immediately said spunk..

We are now singing "Santa claus is coming..on your tree"

Snuppeline · 22/09/2017 17:22

This offering is a little suspect also

m.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-into-the-woods-frosted-chestnut-bauble/p/3230022

Is it a 'punctured lilo' perhaps?

Bluntness100 · 22/09/2017 17:24

What the hell is that chestnut thing? Hang it next to the sperm one and you've got your self a biology lesson right there. I thought Xmas was about the immaculate conception? Grin

imip · 22/09/2017 17:25

I'm a little fearful of the JL Christmas advert now!

Ttbb · 22/09/2017 17:28

Haha, they really didn't think that one through.

TableMirror · 22/09/2017 17:32

The second coming?!

Bettercallsaul1 · 22/09/2017 17:43

This is really putting the X into Xmas! Grin

StaplesCorner · 22/09/2017 19:10

v. good Table. I see what you did there!

ForagingForFaerieGold · 22/09/2017 19:54

Sperm or not, it's pretty amateurish looking. I wouldn't pay 3p for it. Surely anyone with kids has a whole collection of Christmas deccies decorated to this standard ( or higher) already.
Just me then? Smile

user327854831 · 22/09/2017 20:07

@Tablemirror - how do I clean red wine off my phone?!

ditzychick34 · 22/09/2017 20:22

😁

BeerBaby · 22/09/2017 20:27

😁 yep a swarm

JennyBlueWren · 22/09/2017 20:55

A fertility omen?

Maybe I should buy this for teaching sex ed?

pollymere · 23/09/2017 17:53

Definitely sperm. You need ones with eggs or circles on to go on the other side of the tree...
