Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women

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.


Remember the Spyda, dude ..

Every year theres some new political correctness scandal and I always think "nothing is gonna top the dumbness of that statement!" and every year I am proved wrong.

What kind of woman would be offended if a Santa started "ho, ho ho-ing!" near her. Come on!!

It is bordering on ridiculous now.
Stop talkin' bout stayin' the course
You keep on beatin' that old dead horse
You know they lied about why we went to War
I can't take it no more

Re: Giving up on XMAS ..
Yea, fine, a female may get offended, boo hoo, what about that fatasses around the world who get all excited when they hear, ho ho ho, thinking chocolate spongey cakes with nice creamy filling if behind them, calling out to the fatties? Then when they turn around they are heart broken, literally and figuratively, when they collapse do to heart failure from being startled by Santa, instead of being excited by a snack filled with pure lard. All I know is that I'm hungry all of the sudden. I got a craving for ho-ho's, I don't know where that came from, I'm gonna get some now
U MAD

Re: Giving up on XMAS ..
I think this is good news b/c I've been taking Santa's crap for far too many years.

But I've just come up w/ a great idea for a new rap video with Kanye dressed up as Santa.
