Ho,Ho, Ho!

November 15, 2007 on 9:11 am | In Some of This Some of That |

I just saw this mornings headline, “Santa no longer allowed to say Ho,Ho,Ho!”.  WHAT??  No, this was NOT my imagination, all though I wish it were!

In Australia, some lame brain decided that the word Ho can be misconstrued as a deragatory comment towards women.  Okay, I think whoever this is needs to pull his head out of his butt!  Yes, the word ho is slang in some areas for prostitute.  But, in the language of Santa, it is nothing more than a greeting.  Not to mention, what child is going to think Santa is greeting him with “prostitute, prostitute, prostitute”?

Give me a break!
