Well I had a great picture of this to give you a visual impact of this event. Evidently, I am not allowed to use that photo...that's okay I think I can graphically describe the goings on.
It seems the Christmas Grinch is alive, well and living in a mansion in Manhattan.
He and his family of Grinchettes have put up a horrific Santa display, complete with a huge Santa holding a bloody axe and a decapitated head, as blood drips everywhere. Cute, huh?
As if this wasn't enough to make any 6 year old go crying for their Mommy, the Grinchettes decided to add the addition of decapitated Barbi heads, hanging from their outdoor tree.
Yes, Virginia, a tree does grow in Manhattan but believe me you are not going to want to see it this year.
Maybe I'm reading this wrong but I feel this is beyond Goth....way, way beyond.
When interviewed Mr. Grinch, surrounded by his publicity loving Grinchettes, spoke eloquently concerning his hatred of the commercialization of - would you believe - Christmas! Mr. Grinch explained that was the whole reason for their display. He and his little family of Grinchettes believe the business of making money has ruined Christmas. Their display is meant to show how big business has killed Christmas.
You know what I think? I believe that his display is an affront to anyone of good faith that celebrates Christmas. I can see someone walking down the Grinch's block, happy child in tow...on their way to see Santa. Good lord, that display would be worth seven years of therapy for some child, maybe even an adult or two!
Whatever were these Grinches thinking?
***Added footnote...thanks to Dragonrose the site she found allowed me to copy the pictures so they are added up above....thanks rose.....Sandi

Sandi you described that very graphically - you didn't need a picture....Perhaps someone should put a notice up warning people only to enter the area as their own risk...Whatever are those Grinches thinking !!!!!!.....You take care...Ally
How absolutely horrible...real nightmare stuff!! A very sick publicity stunt by very odd people.
And I bet he bought presents.
I agree it is horrible, but when you read the story and watch the video I had to laugh just a little. They did it out of protest...and their reasons seem ok..yet..children still shouldnt see it..
I agree that Christmas is too commercialized but this is taking things too far. He needs to chill out and let people do as they please, if they want to spend money then fine, nobodys forcing them to. Jeannette.
This is truly disgusting and indicative of how far our society has sunk.
What in the world has caused all this? Is it a result of over vigilant political correctness gone awry? In the 90's the far Left was over-vigilant. Now the far Right is over-vigilant.
Is it an example of corporate greed?
Or is it an example of how the constant redux of violence in the entertainment world has tainted our very perspective of what is acceptable parody?
I wish I could go back a hundred years to simpler times. But then again, they had their own problems, I suppose.
Sigh.

I'd like to decapitate the Grinchettes! How utterly gruesome.

Sounds like someone had too much fruit cake. heh!
I think it is just awful. Over here it would not last. There would be so many complaints that they would be forced to take it all down. Terrible thing for children to see, they lose their innocence quick enough as it is.

Thats terrible that they did that...it shows how disturbed they are.
That is awful! How can someone even think of putting up such a display? Its like they want their fifteen minutes of fame or something for the publicity they are getting without being mindful of how people are going to take this and react to it, especially young children. If they are not fond of the commercialism of Christmas, a more appropriate display could have and should have been found by them. Just sick.......
betty
good god - that's traumatizing!
