Oh I’ve seen this- it’s the Catalan Christmas tradition of the little s**tting man, El Caganer… Very odd tradition, I might add.
what?! its not odd! mr hanky visits everyone on christmas
Even better, in Catalonia we don’t have Santa, we have a log that we “feed” a week before, and in Christmas eve we hit it with sticks so he s**ts out our presents…
This right here is what christmas is all about. No doubt.
what??… i mean… just … what? i just can’t imagine what kind of christmas decorating commitee thought that was a great idea.
Correct you are! It’s in Barcelona. Mini-dolls of children doing this are an old christmas tradition there. This is an adult-oversized one.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! GO SPAIN! GO CATALONIA!!!!
that’s it. it’s a tradition to make a small representation of the birth scene with small figures at our homes in here. then, you hide a guy who’s s**tting in some place of that representation and then, if you have any guests, they spot him. he’s not meant to be santa though, just a random guy who couldn’t hold it anymore. they are not children either. he used to be an adult guy, but now you can find almost any character you want to have pooping at home. there’s a website where they sell those and you can see them there if you are curious about it. http://www.caganer.com/
That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.
what, this one? i’m sure you’ve heard worst stuff… it’s not that we go mental with it. if you want to do it, you do it, but if you don’t, nothing happens. our lifes carry on either way. if you have this set up for 2 weeks and someone comes to visit you at home, he spends 20 seconds with that s**t, has a laugh for another 5 seconds and you forget about it until next year.
everything is relatively stupid, but this doesn’t take too much of your time. i’m sure you waste much more time every single day by doing much more stupid things than this one…
you probably go to church, watch american football on tv or have to pay “mandatory tips” on restaurants and all that (if you don’t, you don’t need to tell me, i’m sure you get the point). those are also stupid things to do, the only difference is we know making that representation is somehow stupid and take it as a funny tradition and most of the people who do those other things i mentioned won’t realize how stupid their things are (notice i never said they shouldn’t do them).
I’ll agree football is stupid…but tipping here is neccessary. They don’t pay waiters/baretnders/etc., enough in normal wages to survive. Tips are how they pay bills. I think this s**tting guy is hilarious!
yes, sure. sorry, i didn’t mean it is stupid in that sense. i’m sure they are necessary for those waiters and bartenders. what i meant is it’s stupid the way you make people pay 12$ as long as you get 12$. 10 plus a minimum tip of 2, 12 straight away with no tip needed, 0 plus a minimum tip of 12… at the end of the day, it would be the same if they told you to pay 12 instead of 10+2 and then the owner of the place included those extra 2 at the guy’s salary.
anyway, i just wanted to point out to the offended fellow that any custom may be considered somehow as a stupid thing.
glad you liked it (even though i didn’t do anything, when i was born the s**tter already existed)
Never s**t on another’s traditions as yours may seem just as peculiar to others.
It’s wonderful !!!
Y U NO EXPORT ABROAD !!
Just think of all the little children who have never seen poo before, and the parents who have to explain what it is.
Kids who have never seen poo? What?!
You’re an extreme failure at life.
True.
So trolled.
Wow.
Is this real?
This is a Spanish Tradition.

Thanks for the links. As far as Christmas traditions go, I definitely prefer Egg Nog.
Traditional Egg Nog? Made from Bull semen?
Hahaha, this is awesome. Pure WIN.
Deffo. WIN not FAIL.
f.ucking stupid , stupid people , stupid country go eat that s.hit and die you losers
Well someone didn’t get enough Christmas presents this year
*any
I think someone pooped in his stocking.
*looks at name*
yup, pot vs kettle ROUND ONE!
Miserable s.o.b. aren’t you? Maybe you should try some Valium or something.
Trolling @ 9am on Christmas… he’s not a loser, you shut your crazy mouth!
Mr Hanky has returned!
I sense another earthquake/tsunami going their way…
I can tell you’re a Christian. Because only Christians see an odd tradition they don’t understand and jump to death and destruction as the only solution.
I can tell you’re a moron. Because only a moron would try to insult a person by assigning a specific religion to a complete stranger based on a single line of text.
Jesus Marley FTW
Right, because no atheists in the world want to see Christianity abolished by violent means if necessary. Stalin, Mao, and Kim Jong Ill were such peace-loving tolerant fellows.
Understanding is a three-edged sword.
An argument from religion that’s also a logical fallacy. How unusual.
Stalin, Mao and Kim Jong Ill did not base their tyranny on atheism, they based it on being tyrannical bastards who loved power.
That three edged sword – you’re not doing it right
Wtf. Whatever floats ur shat I suppose.
El caganer, me gustaaaaa
YES!! Catalonia!
we rule!
“we rule!” err catalonia a piece of land the size of that turd the little santa is laying.
And the act is called, what else, “The Aristocrats!”
Ha ha! Best new version of.
oh my g , santa The Aristocrats .I think i like this santa
That’s Spain? The people all look Asian, to me.
Maybe because china stands for 1 billion of dudes, present anywhere on earth ?
Crappy Christmas?
This is like, doing El Caganer SO WRONG.
The fail is there because the guy doesn’t know what el caganer is, but it is also an el caganer fail. He’s supposed to be HIDDEN like a WHERE’S WALDO HUNT, not AN UNMISSABLE GIANT FREAKIN’ STATUE
Maybe the point is that it is so out of scale that you’d miss it for what is was. Took me a look or two at the picture to figure out what is was, and then, since I am not from that area, read these notes to find out WHY on earth that would be a Christmas symbol. Some of the sites linked to say he is supposed to represent fertilization for crops and prosperity. He must be bringing a LOT of prosperity!
whois make the santa?
its all about eating to much turkey
… “children who have never seen poo before”?
Which just goes to show that some people’s cultures are just plain f*cking stupid.
Right, it’s much more rational to think a fat guy is gonna squeeze down every chimney in Christendom to fill socks with toys and candy. Or that some rabbit is bringing chicken eggs dipped in dye.
dafuq?!?!?
actually, Catalonia, not Spain.
I much prefer their other Christmas tradition, where a female (‘La Vomitona’) is projectile vomiting.
All I want to know is if the statue has a huge nutsack to go along with the steaming pile of poo…
All I want for christmas is some fiber!
YULE LOG
I like to imagine he’s making a statement about the commercialization of Christmas.
Wow. Guess I lost a bet with myself. First thought on seeing the picture, “This has GOT to be a German thing.”
