The infamous Myer department store in Melbourne suffered a terrible positioning faux pas when two mechanical koalas appeared to be ‘going at it’ in their Christmas window display.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald The two koalas – part of Myer’s famous Christmas window displays that take place every year and attract thousands of people- were supposed to be helping each other get into donkey outfits, but instead appeared to be ‘coupling’.

“We had a couple of customers’ complaints that it might have been a bit suggestive and so we went and had a look and made some slight adjustments earlier this week,” said a spokesman for the company.

The adjustments meant removing one of the mechanical koalas from the display.

The spokesman also wanted to reassure customers that the koalas’ performance wasn’t intended.

Maybe watching the video will help…
