It's PC gone too far!!
People are scared to open their mounths incase they are told that they might be offending someone!! Those someone's are not offended.
WTF changing in schools not to call a black board a black board, it is now a chalkboard!! And ba ba black sheep is now brown!!!
I really believe that noone is offended by these things, but in todays society, the PC Police are frightened incase someone MIGHT!
Sad Sad World!!

LOL now PC has just gone too far.
ale15 says he's romanian and that his Santa doesn't say "ho ho ho", but doesn't go so far as to tell us exactly what the Romanian Santa does say.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that the Romanian Santa says "Would you like some lucky heather? It's FREE".
It's the one day of the year he gives away lucky heather for nothing. On other days if you refuse to buy heather from him, he puts a curse on you so that you'll get useless presents at Christmas! And while you're distracted by his curse, his children pick your pockets. Leicester Square hasn't been the same since the curse of the Romanian Santa pickpocket gangs!

If santa asserting ho ho ho offends women human beings does it offend them additionally whilst gardener's use a hoe? it is ridiculous. I heard a number of years lower back a pair of guy attempting to get the observe hi replaced to 'heaveno' because of the fact it had the international hell in it. i had to declare to him, what approximately helicopter, helmet, etc? those are stated with the hell sound. What could ho ho ho be offensive? sure i've got heard it used offensivley as a punch line in a humorous tale earlier however the actual which means of ho ho ho does no longer substitute because of the fact of one humorous tale...

I'm not offended at all,
firstly Santa has been around for a lot longer than the term ho has meant a whore.
secondly, Santa is from Lapland and doesn't know of such Americanisms.
thirdly, Santa is a gender neutral friend to us all. He's not a sexist gang-banger.

It's ridiculous.. Just another headline to try and stir up some trouble.. Do you really think they will ban it? I think you've got to be twisted to even think that Ho Ho Ho, would mean anything other than just a little greeting from Santa.. It's beyond the joke.. I'd really like to see the person(s) who actually suggested this ban, and hear their stupid side of the story..
If you hadnt noticed.. it always says 'spokesperson' or whatever... you don't actually get to know the name..
We can't people just leave things as they are!!!
