    Talking Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071115...ristmasoffbeat


    SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.
    ADVERTISEMENT

    Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

    One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.

    "Gimme a break," said Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children called Kids Free 2B Kids.

    "We are talking about little kids who do not understand that "ho, ho, ho" has any other connotation and nor should they," she told the Telegraph.

    "Leave Santa alone."

    A local spokesman for the US-based Westaff recruitment firm said it was "misleading" to say the company had banned Santa's traditional greeting and it was being left up to the discretion of the individual Santa himself.

    1. Got damnit if old St. Nick can't say "ho, ho, ho", then all is lost...who can?
    2. I figure only a "ho" would be offended, not a woman.

    More evidence, our world is slowly losing its balls and mind...

    Now if they were saying ***** *****, I could see that. Give a woman an inch and she'll take 10 miles.

    I think all Santas should just be able to slap a ho ho ho 3 times a day with no consequences.

    except in a normal world the dogs wounds would heal, or it would die. in our society, the wounds do not heal, but everything is done to keep the "dog" from dying. the "dog" is continuously allowed to yelp and whine and ***** and nothing is done about it.

    So first Christmas is offensive, so everything that had the word Christmas in it was replaced with holiday, like we don't know what holiday it is.

    Now Santa can't cheer in jolly like he always has?

    Thanks Hillary for spreading communism into America before you even gave liberals a chance to make their biggest mistake ever and put you in the White House.

    people are allowed to ***** and whine until they get what they want. it should NOT have gotten to this point, and now its irreversible.


    If you try to help the government, the people are against you.
