It's not only a legitimate classic, it's legal merchandise that shop is selling. If putting it in the window offends people, they can boycott that shop and spend their money elsewhere elsewhere. If enough people do that, the shopkeeper has to make a decision whether it's better to display something else. You'd be hard pressed to find a shop window that doesn't annoy somebody in some way. Next they'll be telling the ice cream shop not to put a picture of a banana split in the window because it offends dieters, or the liquor store not to put booze in the window because it offends AA.
