Ho Ho Ho, No No No

November 15, 2007 on 4:38 pm

First Santa is mocked, told that he’s too fat and forced to exercise. Now, in Australian political correctness has gone … well, ho ho ho.

Recruitment firm Westaff — which supplies hundreds of Santas across the country — has told its trainees that the “ho ho ho” phrase could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women.

Julie Gale, who runs a campaign against sexualizing children, says: “Gimme a break. We are talking about little kids who do not understand that ‘ho, ho, ho’ has any other connotation, and nor should they … Leave Santa alone.”

No such luck.
