This story is silly. Why would anyone take it the way they are saying it could be taken. Isn't it two different spellings though?

Wed Nov 14, 11:04 PM ET



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.

WTF!!! I couldn't believe it when I read it....... Things seem to get so freaking out of hand during the holidays. When they tried changing the whole happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas I made sure with everyone who said Happy Holidays I said Merry Christmas back. Flipping outrageous....

The problem with the world today is they think too much about things. They think too deep and because of this, stupid things are done and this is one of them. I couldn't believe this when I read it. People really need to get a grip on reality.

+Never obsess over a problem unless you have a reasonable solution for it.
+Instead of complaining about what's wrong with your life, sit down and appreciate what's right.
+Self-loathing is a waste of energy. If you're contanstly looking for something to change about yourself, you'll be looking forever because there will always be something to improve on.



Oh Sanjaya, you may be gone now, but you'll always be my American Idol <333

Santa tried to say his greeting, but they said no, no, no.

Yes, it's tradition, but political correctness bubbled to its dumbest fruition, so no no no.

He's still got his beard, but to say ho ho ho he's skeered,

Wouldn't let Santa be Santa, so back to the North Pole he'll go go go.
