Apparently in Australia, the local Santas are not allowed to say, Ho! Ho! Ho! anymore. For fear that it might be construed as offensive to women.
Thank Goodness.......I can't tell you how many times I have walked through the local mall and felt violated by that bearded, large man in red calling out his derogatory names for women, sometimes even patting his leg, enticing me to sit on his lap? I mean the nerve!!! How dare he call me a HO.
WHAT is wrong with people?
Who could be offended by St. Nicholas?
So now Santas in the outback have to replace ho,ho,ho with ha, ha, ha.
What?!?
It's not gonna be long before the elderly or even Santa's own elves with their short stature, start to feel that Santa's jolly, ha, ha, ha is just his way of mocking them.
And then what's poor Santa gonna be allowed to say?
How about hi, hi, hi?
Nope, then people with a stutter will be offended.
Anybody got any politically correct phrases that poor Santa can say?
And before you guys think I made this up, check it out here!

I can't believe this...I just wrote about the same thing on my blog!
I read this story and couldn't believe it!
I guess the Easter Bunny won't be able to bring Easter eggs anymore for fear that people will think of sex...pleeeease...
I think the people who thought up this stupid Ho Ho Ho is offensive thing gets coal in their Christmas stocking this year...
Santa could say -
"Yo!"
He could just say Merry Christmas...
The nerve of people and their censors and need to be politically correct. Most politics/politicians are incorrect... so where the sense in political correctedness anyways?!
I also heard Santa has to lose weight because his current size is not good modeling for children.
Has anyone talked to Hostess about the Ho Ho?
Danette,
In that case I'll have to leave Christmas carrots instead of the traditional Christmas cookies. No Hostess ho ho's for Santa:( Boy! We'll be lucky he doesn't end up quitting and then what will we do?
Josh,
I hear ya:)
Their motto is "Do as I say, not as I do" BTW Call me:)
List of Things Lost,

How about we add two more to make it...
Yo, Yo, Yo!
I think the younger generation will not find offense with that...I hope:)
Christmas carrots--hoho! I mean, haha!
