Kmart Australia Pulls ‘Merry Ham-Mas’ Christmas Bag After Jewish Protests

Kmart Australia stepped on a bag of s**t, after touting a bag used to maintain Christmas ham recent within the fridge — a bag with the inscription, “Merry Ham-Mas.”

Fairly apparent … after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, the colourful bag which as soon as was only a trapping of XMAS now has one other that means … one which has enraged some Jewish teams.

The Australian Jewish Affiliation made its emotions clear, posting a pic of the bag with the caption, “Ok-MART STUFF-UP! Try the particular Christmas bag at present obtainable through Ok-Mart on-line. Sure, it is actual!! Though that is probably humorous (the AJA committee has tossed round some non-PC jokes) it is actually not a great look. We suspect some product supervisor could trigger the corporate some embarrassment. So we have politely written to Wesfarmers company suggesting the product be pulled.”

Properly, Kmart heard them loud and clear, as a result of an hour later Kmart yanked the merchandise from its website.

The corporate did a mea culpa, merely saying, “We bought it incorrect on this event, and we apologize unreservedly. When designing this product we clearly didn’t assume by all of the implications and the product has been faraway from sale.”
