Remember way back on Monday when I posted about the brilliant "Inappropriate Elf" contest on Baby Rabies? Well, apparently, I inspired one of my readers to construct her own "Inappropriate Elf" scene but when she tried to follow the rules and create a tumblr page to submit it, things went screwy in only the way technology can.
If you regularly read my comment section, you might know this reader as "Kande". Kande emailed me the photo because she said she had nothing else to do with it and I told her I would be happy to post it on Mommy Shorts provided she splits her iPad 2 in half if she wins.
She said she already has an iPad 2 and if she wins, I can give it away to one of my readers.
HUH?
The spirit of Chrismukkah is alive and well!
I would also like to add that Kande is somewhat concerned that people will find her photo extremely offensive. Psssh, I say. Did you see the abominable snowman taking pictures of a ball-gagged Santa???
But Kande's photo has more of a religious take and religious zealots can be an unfunny bunch. Her photo seems to suggest that the Elf on the Shelf (or the provincial wooden version of the Elf on the Shelf) is Jesus's actual father.
As a Jew, this is not offensive to me whatsoever.
"The Original Deadbeat Dad"
There is one day left of voting and Kande's got a long way to go to catch up with the others. Vote for her here. She is entry #109 all the way down at the bottom.
Good luck, Kande!!!!
Hahahaha I love it, hilarious!
LMAO Brilliant.
Oh Kande that is fantastic! I don’t find it offensive and so wish I could have voted!!
What? Voting is still open? Yay, vote for #109!! But even if that is a mistake and votes can be made but no longer counted, this has been most fun I have had in a long time. I WAS (slightly) worried about offending anyone, until I remembered ummm … I didn’t offend myself and it is my religion I’m poking fun at. Plus, at least I obviously own and display a nativity scene at Christmas, right? Right!
Merry Chrismannukah 🙂
Love this!
HAHAHA! I love the look on Mary’s face. It’s obviously a consensual relationship.
that might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks LOL
Are you sure that’s not Joseph?
Fabulous!
Yes. It IS my nativity scene after all! LOL! As you may have noticed I do not have a “real” Elf-on-the-Shelf. We move the Baby Jesus around instead. 😉
(but really. No. It is Mary. Joseph is in the background. I checked. Also not a shepherd) 🙂
I’m kind of disappointed! But…That it’s actually the “baby Jesus” masquerading as the Elf makes it that much more inappropriate. 😉
No, baby Jesus is out of the scene altogether – the backstory for the picture is, Elf makes a baby with Mary but doesn’t want to claim responsibility to fatherhood, hence the “Deadbeat Dad” part, leading to the most inappropriate situation (as someone of Christian upbringing) I could think of, which was the implication that Elf is Jesus’ father, and the story Christmas is actually Mary’s cover story for the pregnancy. Ta-da!
If the title could have been longer I would have been tempted to go with ” One day Mary was impregnated by a mysterious being with super powers, who watches over us all to see if we have been naughty or nice and judges us accordingly … the being now known as ‘Elf on the Shelf’ ”
Haha! And now I feel a strong urge to go pray for my soul!
It is perfect!!! Love. Everything. Inappropriate.
Nice piece of work.
