Um, seriously, SANTA! Who you calling HO?
okay, there are so many things that I love about Australia, and I haven't even been there. But my dear friend James reminds me often that I need to go for a visit, and I will be there soon..!
BUT!
This news of the weird is too much for me to pass up. Found this via JEZEBEL.
Sydney Santas have been barred from chanting the customary "Ho, ho, ho"
this Christmas, as the Santa recruitment firm Westaff has deemed the
phrase frightening to children and possibly "derogatory towards women".
The Aussie trainees have been told to replace "Ho, ho, ho," with "Ha,
ha, ha." Mall Santas are up in arms about the censoring. Two potential
Santas even quit the training course because they felt so oppressed.
Sydney mom Maybel Lopez told the Daily Telegraph,
"It's what Santa has been saying his whole life - my whole life. It is
just a normal thing really for him to say 'ho, ho, ho'." Wonder what
David Sedaris thinks of this? [NEWS.com.au]
