Santa can no longer say ho, ho, ho in Australia because it can be considered offensive to women. GIVE ME A BREAK!! LEAVE CHRISTMAS ALONE!!! Like Santa Clause is such a sexist pig, he calls women ho's, not once, but three consecutive times.
Which party do you suppose supports this nonsense?

What side wants to censor Rush Limbaugh? What side wants to force radio stations to have both sides of the political spectrum represented on their stations? The key word there is "force". I believe that would be the libs.

sure, properly this merely demonstrates that maximum folk finally end up being a contradiction in words. are you able to call that a paradox? provided that the choice is authentic for sure. to no remember if liberal conservatism may well be embraced by ability of those conservatives who're greater liberal than fairly conservative, i think of, is something that could desire to be debated liberally in a conservatory way.

Did you read the WHOLE piece, or just the sensational headline? Here, word per word, is the final paragraph:
A local spokesman for the US-based Westaff recruitment firm said it was "misleading" to say the company had banned Santa's traditional greeting and it was being left up to the discretion of the individual Santa himself.

It's so hilarious watching people get so worked up over stupid crap like this. As though what some senile old alcoholic in a suit sitting in a mall has any relevance to the world at large. Or that this is some affront to religious people. Or did Jesus let himself get a pot belly and move to the North Pole after coming back to life?

It is a JOKE, Brad. Remember those. Little interesting quotes meant to bring about a smile or a chuckle. I hope no nation is so politically correct as to outlaw such a thing in real life. Get a sense of humor. It makes life so much easier! The articles that suggested that it was real was cautious to not to attribute it to anyone. This is a clue that it probably has no merit in any real journalism.

Technically you can blame the US since it's citizens have bastardised the English language to the extent that the word "ho" is now used in an offensive manner.
I can hear Shakespeare, Byron, Dr Johnson et al spinning in their graves...

Liberals get offended more easily. If a situation makes someone feel "uncomfortable" then rules are made to change it.
Like a jew during Christmas. So for that kid they start calling them "holiday" songs. Or lets say "Seasons Greetings" instead of Merry Christmas.

Yeah, I saw that story - hilarious... I would imagine Democrats would be more likely to think this is a good idea, but I believe that most of them would see it as ridiculous. Thank God the PC 90's are over.
