Politically incorrect? That is a matter of opinion. Over the last five or so Christmas seasons, certain media types have publically commented that "Ho, ho, ho" could be a crude reference to prostitutes and as such, is politically incorrect and should be banned. Santa's proponents say that is a lot of bunk. Santa is a jolly old elf and laughs a lot. The "Ho, ho, ho" phrase is Santa's version of "Ha, Ha, Ha." Nothing politically incorrect about that... or is it?

It's not politically incorrect for santa to say HOHOHO, he's said it for the last 100 years, people jsut NOW find it offensive because they can't discriminate between 50 Cent and Santa. The distinction seems pretty clear to me, but I have a brain, the PC police do not...it's only in certain stores, i'm sure in a few years it'll all be forgotten.

Well i appreciated you taking the time to make us feel less offended. I can agree with you and say that saying homosexual is a little less offensive than saying gay. But personally I really don't care. I'm okay with gay, homo, queer, whatever. Because its who i am. I'm proud of who i am. So it doesn't offend me when someone calls me gay, homo, or queer. It does get a little more offensive when someone calls me a fag. Because it seems that term fag is used towards flamoyant gays and im far from that. But in the end i wont make a big deal about it. I do understand you point and its very interesting because it happens all the time. But there are different type of gays and its crazy but there is still discrimination within the LGBT community. So i want to say thank you for taking the time to actually ask us what we felt was best.

You'd have to have a dirty mind to think Santa's jolly laugh was something more then that. This Politically Correctness garbage is starting to run amok.
I don't even celebrate the holiday and I think its absurd to try and ruin it for those who do.

I agree... why does Christmas offend so many people but yet in songs and on Tv/movies they can talk about killing people, abut it's okay? Or refer to people in derogatory terms? And the people who think Christmas is offensive probably still celebrate it (minus some religions) they just don't want to think about the real reason for the season. That's what's wrong with the world- there is no moral conscience anymore, so it's okay to let kids watch and listen to music that talks about killing someone but they can't believe in Christmas.

Because the word HO has been turned into a bad word, would be like if Santa said.."fag fag fag"
Fag meant something else years ago

I agree with you 100%. This country is complaining about the wrong things now a days. But soon as you try to stifle music they start screaming "This is my right to free speech." What is this world coming to today? I don't care if any body complains, but you try to have a Merry Christmas my friend

Maybe politically incorrect to the media but not to Santa. You must understand, since he only comes once a year it takes three for him to get his jollies off, if you know what I mean.
