Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women - Yahoo! News

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.

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.

Whoever started that shit needs to swallow their tongue and die.

Actually, I think that once a person has been identified as politically correct, you should be allowed to run them over with an Hummer while eating a hamburger and watching porn.

When I was in The United Arab Emirates I was feeling homesick in my hotel room so I called the Suicide Hotline. First question they asked "Can you fly a plane?"

Along the same lines, the Seattle Public School Dist recently sent out a memo to all its teachers informing them to deconstruct the "myth" that Thanksgiving is a happy time. Rather, they should remind the children that "Indians" had their land taken from them and this day should be viewed in mourning. Fuckin' hippies.

At least that part is true.

Celebrating Thanksgiving is much like a date rapist who tells his victim "lets not think about what happened in the end but instead focus on the nice dinner we had at the beginning of the night"

I don't give two shits about thanksgiving other than I get out of school for 3 days and I get to spend time with my family. Outside of that, it is an absurd holiday.

What bullshit school do you go to? We are too busy being educated to take a whole week off.

On a serious note, I know both of us are graduating in a few weeks. How does it feel?
I am so freaking psyched that I can barely think straight.

Ha, we learn so much here we need the time to rest. Besides, I'm not sure it's really an entire week off; I have four papers due immediately after break, totally 39 pages.

I am excited and worried at the same time. I've been applying for jobs and interviewing left and right for the past two and a half months and I still haven't found anything I'm really excited about, with the exception of one where I got rejected. Everything else at the moment is low paying bullshit. But I can't wait to graduate (hell yeah I'm gonna walk) and see my family over winter break. PM me, let me know what your plans are.

What's the difference between a pizza and a jew? A pizza doesn't scream when you throw it in the oven.

What's sad is that Australia may be worse than the US when it comes to this bizarre PC mentality.

An Australian tradition of having neighborhood Christmas parties is now dying because to participate in a neighborhood Christmas party, you have to apply for a permit. To get the permit you have to prove you have purchased insurance for the neighborhood party.

Little Wing · 11-16-2007, 02:51 PM

^ i don't see what the permits have to do with being PC.

maybe santa should just say "buy, buy, buy"

Little Wing · 11-16-2007, 02:53 PM

or "spend, spend, spend" so as not to offend bisexuals.
