War On Christmas Comes To Australia

Ho-hum.
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.

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.
Looks like somebody at the Santa employment office is a little bit too gung-ho.

It seems the only succesful US export is social handcuffs to the rest of the world.

It is a sad world. What is going on with these people. It is just another stupid example of what society is becoming back home.

Brunty, you are right on.

I believe there was a man back in the 1930's-1940's in Germany that would approve of these kinds of society changes, he had a funny little mustache and wasn't a tolarant fellow.
