I'm sure there was a time when pussy meant just a cat (maybe not, it's just an example). But, we don't go around saying that w/o thinking about who we are talking to and how it might become offensive (again, just an example; substitute your own).

How does an Aussie pronounce, "Ho, ho, ho" anyway?

That's it. I'm going to sue the jolly green giant for racial discrimination.

HO ho ho, green giant!


Maybe green giant and santa should sue all the people who can't speak english well enough to pronounce the word "whore'.

Yup, and the Miss Ebonics Pageant has been similarly struggling with Miss I-da-ho.

I agree, instead of "ho, ho, ho" they should just get it over with and have them say "whore, whore, whore".

That's it. I'm getting a red suit, fake beard and sitting in the local mall screaming "cum-guzzling gutter slut! cum-guzzling gutter slut, cum-guzzling gutter slut!" See how the P.C. ninnies like that one. I might carry a sign that says "F*ck Kwanzaa" too. Really make an impression on the little kiddies.

Bet there wouldn't be any griping about "ho ho ho" after that.

Stupid P.C. nonsense. It'll be the death of our society, I swear it.

I'm just glad to see that THIS bit of ridiculousness, and the school that banned Christmas cards because they wasted paper, were NOT in the United States....

I think we should all point at the Autralians and Welsh on this board and giggle... It's our turn.

What rubbish!
The only time I could I imagine Santa saying "ho ho ho" in a wrong fashion is if came across a cuteie of the proper age and proportions!

As for those HOz I wonder if they ever saw the street name in my hometown?!?! "Hooker Hill" -- which least to say was one of the most sought after street signs by high school kids (errr, probably some adults too!)

As for this Politically Correctness routine, I won't 100% endorse until they change words like "she, female, and manhole cover". Jeez, "he" is grammatically correct in general usage!
That manhole cover is especially sexually degrading and makes me feel psychological damaged every time I drive over one!


errr, sorry for the rant ... ho ho ho!

Remember that this is "news" not to be confused with news.
Wouldn't you wanna write this story??? I'd hope not.

Although every single link on the first five pages of a Google search only point towards a terrible Hollywod movie........bad santas do exist.

Already have a home there. Go there when I am tired of society or people like Off Ramp...

This PC crap has to stop. One that I really hate are people saying "oh my gosh" when for eons almost everyone said "oh my God" and now its been made politically correct by changing "God to gosh"....

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that this did NOT happen in California. Thank you.

From now on, Santa should just call it like it is.
His new catch phrase will be, "So, whadda you want this year, you selfish little snot factory??"

Not to be crude or rude, but I bet our parents said the same thing about us when we were young

lolo, I catch myself in class at times doing the same thing to my students that my teachers did to me and my classmates .... errr ... have times really changed?

PC is ok to a point but so is everything else! It's just that this is becoming way out of proportion like the number of garbage lawsuits and copyright going on. (errrr, that's for the US specifically I guess ) I'm glad I'm here in Japan were things are just plain wacko and not absurd
