Walmart pulls Christmas sweaters that mixed Santa with sex and cocaine

Walmart removed several pieces of holiday merchandise from its Canadian website after customers took offense to a line of risque Christmas clothing.
The retail giant also issued an apology over a sweater offered by the third-party seller FUN Wear that featured an image of a bug-eyed Santa Claus seated in front of three white lines that appeared to be cocaine. The sweaters tagline: LET IT SNOW.
For those who werent quite sure what the sweater might be suggesting, its product description read:
We all know how snow works. Its white, powdery and the best snow comes straight from South America. Thats bad news for jolly old St. Nick, who lives far away in the North Pole. Thats why Santa really likes to savor the moment when he gets his hands on some quality, grade A, Colombian snow.
These sweaters, sold by a third-party seller on Walmart.ca, do not represent Walmarts values and have no place on our website, the company said in a statement. We apologize for any unintended offence this may have caused.
