Post subject: No HO HO HO For Santa this Xmas | |

Apparently the Womens rights movement in OZ have clamped down on Santa saying HO -in US its term for a prostitute as they think it is derogatory to women - and he he should say HA HA HA. WHAT A JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _________________ Magpies,Scousers & the Socceroos

I would love to see the link from where you got that info.
I don't mean the link to the real reason why, the link that explains what you posted. _________________ Whale

Just saw something on a US BB about this, but strangely, nothing was mentioned, when the story first came out on Wednesday, about it due to being offensive to women.
The 'authorities' were concerned that a fat man with a white beard, when saying 'Ho, Ho, Ho' in a deep voice, would upset the kiddies.
I bet those associated with the latest suggestion have a lot of dealings with single mothers! They would be the only women who would be upset with someone saying Ho, Ho, Ho! _________________ Whale

Depends where you read... In the Sunday Sun the ban was because the Ho Ho Ho frightened children.
Now they are saying it's because of the offenciveness of the term Ho, perhaps they should ban rap songs from using the word instead of Santa. _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

Next we will be calling a hoe, a garden digger, because the word hoe is offensive... FFS get a life. They obviously have nothing better to do.
Whatever happened to just good ol' burning bras _________________ All this may be summed up in one word - CHARACTER - and if that is not worth developing, nothing is.

Would they also call a spade 'a small digging implement', not to confuse it with it's large digging implement cousin, the shovel? _________________ Whale

And amid all the insanity, someone states the obvious.
Still, I won't really believe this story is fair dinkum until I see a link. Nobody could possibly be this stupid. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Dave, take your pick

Let's take bets on what will happen to Santa next:
- No longer allowed to be fat and jolly because it promotes childhood obesity odds $1:05
- There must be a (female) St Nicole for every St Nicholas to promote gender equality odds $1:50
- Santa cannot wear red as this is the color for communism, danger, passion odds $10
- Mrs Claus must be replaced by Santa's (male) life partner odds $50
- Santa must become androngynous odds $100
