um, you doubled up your question Waltz. Yes I am insulted and yes HA HA HA does not sound the same as HO HO HO.
Edit: I am insulted that American slang can prevent our Santas from using the words ho ho ho. It's truly ridiculous. As an Australian I never use the word "ho" and I don't see why Australians should change their culture and vocabulary and years of tradition to suit what Americans use as slang.

Morons, it isn't Americans saying Australian Santas can't say ho, ho, ho. It's a company in your own country.
But it's always a fun day for Commonwealth subjects when they can blame Americans, huh? Hatemongers.

Yeh, Americans can be shallow hypocritical idiots at times, lets face it they will never get our sense of humour.
I'm more concerned about Muslims and other ethnic groups banning Santa Clause and Christmass, even Easter celebrations in schools these days ! Anyone remember the good old fashioned egg parades in Primary School, whats going on when Aussie kids cant be Aussie kids ?
