to say Ho Ho Ho anymore? He has to say HA HA HA in order not to offend. What in the world is going on here?

Saw it on the News (Fox) just now. Guess they must be misinformed

I live in China, and here where I work we have a woman from Australia. We Americans were chatting about Christmas the other day and she filed a grievence with our supervisor for using HO HO HO. We were practing our HO HO HO's for the upcoming Christmas party next month to decide who had the best HO HO HO voice to play Santa.
Oh, our supervisor told her to get a life and grow up! Her complaint really upset her.

Wow, how stupid! Political corectness is making it impossible to say anything anymore. Santa's been saying Ho Ho Ho a lot longer than the word's had it's nasty usage.
And what about this:
If I was a little kid and Santa went Ha Ha Ha at me, I'd probably think he was laughing at me, thinking I looked weird or something. So I guess he can't say that either-it might insult one in a billion people. Geez. *Rolls eyes*.

Another ridiculous Politically Correct fowl up. I read this this am and just laughed out loud. They said ho sounded to much like what prostitutes are called in the US and it would offend women.

I saw the news article too, just this morning. Seems political correctness has gone mad.
"Ho" is not even a word... it's a mispronunciation of the word "wh*re."
The idea that anyone would even think of this is beyond reason.
Stand back everyone, my head is about to explode.

I heard it was because "ho" now has the slang connotation of "whore"...I've never heard of anything so stupid. Since when does an ages-old institution like Santa, have to change because of something like this? There will be mutiny at the North Pole, I'm sure.

Just as I suspected, that fuzzy old geezer was just a lecherous old pimp -- with the Ho's and bills after Christmas, he' been giving us all a good tumble for years. Took the Aussies to get his number. Hip Hip HIp !

O.K that is just going a little to far, funny though. I miss the good ol' days when you were just politiclly correct or just did't look for thing s to whine about as in this.
Should we change the state of Idaho's name too?

He also has to loose weight! Isn't this ridiculous? It's the same thing that happened to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I am sick of being politically correct!!!
