Australia, which I always think of as extremely awesome and laidback, has stooped to lows only the United States would go to. Santas at malls are not allowed to say "Ho, Ho, Ho!" Why, you ask? Isn't this one of the most important traditions of Santa (who we all know was Jesus' chauffeur on Jesus' trip around the world. More on that in a different post) to say "HO, HO, HO!"?
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. Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha." 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."Are you freaking kidding me??? So something Santa has been saying since Jesus was immaculately conceived over 2000 years ago is now offensive to women? Do people REALLY think that Santa saying "Ho, Ho, Ho!" has ANY reference WHATSOEVER to calling women "ho's" or whores? Consider my mind boggled. I can't wait for Santa to be offensive to fat people. Or, maybe Santa will be banned from being fat because it encourages people to be overweight. "Whore, whore, whore!!! MERRRRRRY CHRIST'S VIRGIN BIRTH DAY!"
