Ho, ho, ho!
An article on Yahoo says that in Australia, Santas are warned not to say “Ho, ho, ho!” because it’s offensive to women.
I have to say, I would have never found a cheery Santa greeting me with a “ho, ho, ho” offensive… at all. I mean, if the Santa was being lewd or something and was purposefully calling me a ho, sure, I might be offended. But how many Santas actually do that? It’s utterly ridiculous.
Leave Santa alone!! It’s simply not the same if Santa says “ha, ha, ha.”

Yeah… I saw an MSNBC newscast about that as well. The other reason for this change was that “ho ho ho” seems to be scaring little kids…
Personally, I’d think it’d be more disturbing to see a rolly-polly guy in a red suit running around screaming “HA HA HA!”…
