Are you effing kidding me??? Really? And it's not even in the US.

[carolinacaniac]

That's just stupid. It's not Santa if he doesn't say ho, ho ho. To many people get to easily offended over the littlest things

[mcjaco]

Ho, Ho, Ho.

 

If you don't like it, you can eat me.

A buddy of mine and I were kicking around a concept for a new "Christmas Village" decorating set called "A Skankville Christmas." Santa would, of course, be some pimp hanging out on a street corner with his scantily clad "elves"--Ho! Ho! Ho!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

What the hell?

 

 

Santa: "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Woman: "YOU SONOFABITCH!" *Slaps Santa*

Santa: *under his breath* "Merry Christmas...bitch..."

 

Seriously come on. This is just ridiculous! Political correctness sucks...

[ginzo]

Fake controversy made up by bored reporters.

 

Maybe it's time to dig up SARS or monkey pox again? MRSA is getting boring.

More holiday PC-crap.

 

Last year, the town next to me told their middle school to call a Christmas tree the "magic tree" and to say "have a swingin' holiday" instead of "merry Christmas".

 

I don't get it.

I'm telling you, this world is going straight to hell... In a political basket.

Actually, to some children, big dark booming voices can be frightening. Take it from me! I was also frightened of such. But now I find it cool, if spoken in the right way by the right man. Like Dragon Heart, or Yello (Jingle Bells song), or some old wise man (wizard, tree, rockbiter, etc).

I wonder, if this gets out of hand, are they gonna dub every Christmas film so that the Santa says "Ha"? Or evil Santa of Futurama says "HARG, HARG, HAARRG!"

 

Lets go with a protest! Everyone say "HO HO HO" as often as you can. They wouldn't fine/sue 90% of a country's population, would they?

All I can say is

[BarryH]

That reminds me, I got to get my Christmas tree, no wait, "family tree" at Home Depot.

[bigjohnson51]

Wow I heard about this on the news today, and I couldn't believe it. Are little kids really offended by Ho, Ho, Ho! They don't even know what a ho is! This baffles me.

[odene497]

Little Kid:"Mom!!!! That big red man said ho ho ho! He's refering to someone who sells their body for money!"

[Tanks4me05]

That just made my day.

[Airtime&Gravity]

It wasn't Sydney, Australia, but rather Sidney, Nebraska. It was just a typo...

 

This is just sad, yet funny, and I'm pretty sure no one is truly offended by Santa saying, "ho ho ho." Now if he just said "ho", then that would be different, but this just shows how politically correct society has become.

[Pufferfish]

This is completely sad. How far can political correctness go? I thought maybe this year would be better after all the complaining over wheter to say happy holiday, or merry christmas. What happened to the good old days where you would be able to put the line, "..and the black fish, she can sing..." into a catchy song that children love? Thank you Walt Disney

[XII]

Wow, Australia is f*cked up. That's just sad.

And if any australians are reading this,

Ho, Ho, Ho

[Wes]

Don't worry, Santa is now going to say "Slut, Slut, Slut".

[bigjohnson51]

^ Ha that's funny. That's exactly what I told my dad when I heard that story!

[TheRapidsNerd]

So Santa can't so Ho Ho Ho now because it MIGHT offend "ladies of the evening"? I'm surprised. You'd think, being all politically correct, that they wouldn't portray he exists in the first place, for fear of offending somebody. In fact, even celebrating the holiday is just sheer rebel madness! How can these champions of good sense and clear thinking LIVE with themselves?(can you smell the sarcasm?)

 

Do they blow up! A 1! They implode!! Hahahahahaha!

[ebl]

You have to wonder just what goes on the minds of people who come up with this stuff...

 

Never mind. I really don't want to know.

I knew it was coming. I was surprised it took this long for "ho ho ho" to become PC. Very disappointing.

[CoasterJunkie]

To resurrect a month old topic...I found this today...
