Ho Ho Ho offensive to women
Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women
11/14/07
Quote:
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.

Don't forget liberalism. That is the root cause of PC nonsense.

About all I can say is "ditto". They are managing to take all the fun out of everything for our children. Haloween has been essentially ruined and now their after Christmas. I agree that children are not going to make the connection with the word unless someone points it out, like banning it is doing. Absouletly ridiculous. Next thing you know we will be asked to skip turkey on Thanksgiving because it is teaching kids violence to kill turkeys for dinner.
