War Against Christmas - The Imus Effect

Santa is no longer free to say "Ho, Ho, Ho" in Sydney:

SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.

I don't recall ever being frightened by "Ho, Ho, Ho" when I was a child. This is political correctness stupidity.
