Hey guys,
There we go again.... just when I thought we couldn't go any further.... HEAD NEWS IN MSN... Australian Santa Claus' have been told NOT to say ho ho ho, as it may offend women. ok...
Now they want them to say ha ha ha instead.... IMO, this is extremism on politically correctness.... The kids don't even know what a "ho", if used in a different way is... The very little ones don't even know the Santa concept yet... I don't think this has to do with being religious or not either.... it's just the whole point of it that I personally find ridiculous...
I mean, which women are going to be offended? those who consider themselves "ho"??? what woman consider herself a "ho"?? I know is a vulgar ugly word and personaly I wish nobody used it.... but what the heck does it have to do with Santa and/or anybody being offended? Am I missing something...?

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.
