Was anyone offended this year when Santa Claus said 'Ho Ho Ho'?

Santa Claus outraged by 'ho ho ho' ban

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

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.

I think ho, ho, ho is fine. The only thing that should be banned is political correctness!

Proof positive of the what happens when the gov't gets too involved in people's lives. Outlawing what private citizens can and can't say.
If you are looking to be offended you are going to be. Why take something innocent and cheery and turn it into a negative? If that ever happens in this country, we ought to riot!

Someone always will find something to complain about. Ho Ho Ho has never been offensive.

Nope. I don't bother being offended by things other people say or do. I have more important, positive things to focus on. I think people get offended too easily these days.
