Weirdest Christmas Decoration Of All Time Found In Spain (PHOTO)

It's no secret that we get a kick out of outrageous Christmas decorations, but this one really takes the cake. We spotted this photo of a gigantic elf, um, relieving itself in the middle of a bustling shopping center and couldn't believe it existed. Still, it turns this is a pretty typical Christmas decoration in Spain called a Caganer.

A Redditer identified the shopping center as the Maremagnum shopping mall in Barcelona, and as you can see from their website they are very proud of their giant little guy and gus big, um, present he left behind. Is this the most ridiculous Christmas decoration of all time? Perhaps. Tell us what you think in the comments! (Via Buzzfeed/Buzzhunt.co.uk)

I love this, but think I've found some weirder decorations, including...the Human Santapede. Have a look here: http://tinyurl.com/28csjg2 (includes some comic nudity- but then so does this)

The Caganer is a much member of the figures making up the traditional nativity scene in Catalunya. He is to be found crouching by or behind the grotto made of cork bark where the Holy Family, Shepherds and Wise men adore the infant Jesus. The traditional form is a Catalan peasant, sometimes smoking a cigarette, sometimes a pipe, occasionally with a newspaper. Popular figures also appear though, politicians, footballers, eternal icons… and it is not necessarily offensive to be portrayed crouching in serene concentration with trousers around your ankles,

'The Caganer represents the equality of all people: regardless of status, race, or gender, everyone sh*ts.'
I actually love that. Making things human and also comical. Go Spain!
People need to lighten up!

I'd like to see a JeeBus Caganer--he was half-human and walked the Earth!

i don't know about that, interesting is how I would describe it best. Supposedly it's an old tradition, which is the most interesting part.

I don't find anything funny about an elf dropping a deuce being used as a Christmas decoration. I just hope it isn't made of candy. SMH

What would be funny is if this was motorized and had movement like the figures in Macy's windows, and the guy wiped himself with the xmas tree.

I'm very curious what the view from the front reveals.

My guess would be a likeness of Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck hanging from the guy's groin area.
