Santas across Sydney Australia are rebelling against attempts to ban their traditional greeting of "ho, ho, ho" in favour of "ha, ha, ha"

    Sometime you just have to wonder about some people....Learn to pick your battles for God's sake!

    Moreover, they're Ho's, they don't deserve respect.

    "lily" said

    Recruitment firm Westaff - which supplies hundreds of Santas across the country - has told its trainees that the "ho ho ho" phrase could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women.

    Lots of kids are terrified of Santa, but probably because of the beard, the fact he's a stranger or they're over-tired from shopping all day. I doubt any of them were frightened by the Ho Ho Ho.

    As for being derogatory to women - has any actual woman made a complaint?



    I have. We have a number of asian people where I work whose last name is Ho. I wrote teh following to the BC Humna Rights Commission:

    "...I don't think that I should have to be involuntarily subject to comments that are profane and derogatory to wimmin in the workplace, and yet these people have made no efforts at all to chnage their name to something that is not obscene in our culture.

    Sincerely

    Once again Ebonics has screwed up a perfectly normal saying, and the PCs are right there with their no-no stick to make sure nobody's feelings are hurt.

    i am so happy i am not a kid these days.

    i am so happy that when i was growing up, we had xmas decorations in school, a christmas play, and none of this pc bullshit.

    Christmas was Christmas, Santa was Santa, he said "ho ho ho",and that was it.

    it can be really dissapointing to see what our generation is doing
    to completely destroy everything it can.

    I used to say ho ho ho to my grade 8 teacher all the time, because, well, she was a ho lol

    Man, I've got this kick ass video of me when I was like, 3 or 4, in my X-mas play thingy, and I've got my kilt on with a set of bag pipes. Yeah, I was a pimp way back when. Natural platinum blonde hair too. And I fall asleep half way through the play, and then I start roughin' people up with the bag pipes. :twisted:
