How ridiculous is this? Are they going to rewrite all of the books and bleep out the words in the cartoons and movies?

This is what censorship does. It takes away our rights and freedom! Beware of Hitlers in our future. Some may be running for President!

What's next? We won't be able to use a hoe in our gardens because it might offend someone that we are getting down and dirty with our hoe?

Who didnt think this would happen sooner or later? This country has gotten so out of control with political correctness and worrying about the violence or bad words kids could hear on tv. Now young kids who already knew of "ho ho ho" are going to need an explanation as to why you cant say that anymore. Im sick of people in this county (mostly the religious right) who keep screwing things up in this country for kids and adults alike. If i want to see violent movies on tv who are they to stop me. If santa clause wants to say "ho ho ho" for christ sakes let him! Besides if a kid knows that "ho ho ho" is bad then they have heard it before anyway. This is deeper then just santa clase, and howard stern, and changing guns to walkie talkies in E.T. , this is a problem that will eventually ruin most of the entertaining things in our lives.

THAT is absolutely ridiculous!
"hohoho" was associated with Santa LOONG before some perverted people decided to call women that. just like EVERY OTHER EFFING WORD in the english language. its disgusting and annoying.

The word "ho" as used by Santa Claus came about long before the negative use of it did. Ho, ho, ho has a place in our mythology, and legislating an end to it is revisionism at its worst.

Another case of PC gone mad!!!
Who is really, i mean really, offended by this.
Ho means "Used to express surprise or joy, to attract attention to something sighted, or to urge onward"
