Santas being told not to say "Ho! Ho! Ho!", but "ha!Ha!Ha!"

[berryblondeboys]

Now that is ridiculous! They don't want to OFFEND people by saying Ho!Ho!Ho! OMG, can we get any more ridiculous! What next, Rudolph can't have a red nose so not to offend people with red noses?

I know, it's so stupid, I couldn't believe it when I read this:

Whoever thought they shouldn't say it needs to grow up.

It's sad how pc everyone NEEDS to be now. Gimme a break. It's not like they say "whore whore whore" or "tramp tramp tramp" or "slut slut slut". Though I think it would be funny if they did. Maybe they can change it to "yo yo yo".

I second that!

Erm... by the time a woman is old enough to be a "Ho" shouldn't she also be old enough to no longer believe in Santa and therefore NOT be offended by the imaginary magical flying fat man in a red velour fur-trimmed jumpsuit hurling anti-prostitution epithets*???!!!

I'm just sayin....

Umm... it isn't like "ho" is even a word. The word people are misinterpreting it as is not pronounced that way. So to take a gross mispronounciation of an offensive word that might resemble another word and ban it is beyond ridiculous.

 

[merika]

Maybe they should just say "hee hee hee"

 

[mello_yello_jen]

wow, this is ridiculous. "ha! ha! ha!" is not the same, there's not even a ring to it! who the heck can they offend? the parents? if parents are offended, maybe they shop stop dressing up their kids like little "ho"s.

 

[sonya]

"Ha ha ha" sounds like he's laughing at you.

I think some people need to find a hobby and stop trying to find silly things to censor.

 

[claireZk]

^ Ugh, I agree!

This is the most asinine thing I have heard in a loooooooong time. What is this world coming to?!

Plus, how many little kids (and I mean REALLY little kids, young enough to believe in Santa) even know what "ho" means?...
