British businessman left with 1,000 rude Christmas jumpers after misprint
It’s that time of year again, where the nation starts to get in the Christmas spirit ahead of the festivities.
And with national restrictions putting a dampener on many people’s Christmas plans last year, a recent study has revealed that Brits are more excited to celebrate than ever with some starting their shopping as early as August.
It’s not just present shopping that’s started early either, with searches for Christmas jumpers already reaching record highs, according to Google Trends data.
While retailers shouldn’t have any issues shifting their jumper stocks, it could be trickier for one businessman who’s been left with 1,000 special edition, rude Christmas jumpers to sell following a misprint by a supplier.
Karl Baxter, Managing Director of Wholesale Clearance UK purchased the stock from a supplier earlier this month, after they opted against selling the dodgy designs in their high-street stores.
At first glance, the jumpers appear innocent, with a snow tipped collar, sleeves, hem and snowflakes. However, if you look a little closer the larger snowflakes appear to look like a series of phallic objects.
Given the nature of the jumper, Mr Baxter thought it appropriate to raise money for a men’s health charity and is appealing to any humorous festive fans to tap into their ‘naughty but nice’ side this Christmas by purchasing one of the jumpers.
The wholesaler is hoping to sell the Christmas jumpers for a discounted price of £10 so that he can donate a percentage of the proceeds to Prostate Cancer UK.
According to data, prostate cancer will be the most common of all cancers by 2030, with more and more men getting diagnosed each year.
