Santas Warned ‘Ho Ho Ho’ Offensive to Women
By Just Stupid on Nov 15, 2007 in Stupid Countries, Stupid Politicians
Santas in Australia’s largest city have been told not to use Santa Clause’s traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women.
Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported. Ha ha ha is right!
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! We are talking about little kids who do not understand that "ho, ho, ho" has any other connotation and nor should they!
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. Thank God! (Or is that wrong to say too?)
