These Kmart stores in Australia probably had zero idea that this hilarious "Merry Ham-Mas" bag — an unfortunately punny bag meant for storing ham in the fridge — would get them in trouble. But one look at the bag and you'll shortly realize why they're pulling it from the shelves.
"Yes, Merry Hamas from all of us at Kmart. Don't forget to search our kids' section for ammunition. We got some great deals back there. If you're looking for firearms themselves you'll have to head to the pharmacy and they'll help you out."
Totally kidding you guys, I needed to vent a little bit, so thanks for bearing with me. This bag was obviously a bad look, and Kmart is sorry, but there's really nothing they could've done in this situation besides put the bag on display and receive an inevitable complaint from someone who was able to make the connection. In this case, it was the Australian Jewish Association.
So Kmart responded:
"We got it wrong on this occasion, and we apologize unreservedly," a company rep told Politico Thursday.
"When designing this product we clearly didn't think through all the implications and the product has been removed from sale," the spokesperson added.
Truly an honest mistake here, but I'm kinda glad it happened because I needed a break from all the seriousness surrounding this issue.
If you need me I'll be in my office thinking up a few good jokes concerning Hamas and the consumption of ham. I might be a while, so don't wait up.
