StoneMtn Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women Wed Nov 14, 11:04 PM ETSantas 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.Copyright © 2007 Agence France Presse.

StoneMtn Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I just think it would look weird, creepy, and sort of evil and scary for some fat bearded man to be standing on the street-corner in Urban Australia guffawing, "HAHAHA!!!"
