Santas in Australia’s largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas’s traditional “ho ho ho” greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.
Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say “ha ha ha” instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.
One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use “ho ho ho” because it could frighten children and was too close to “ho”, a US slang term for prostitute.
I think we have now gone officially too far with this whole pc/ let’s not offend anyone.What’s next? Miracle on 34th street changed to Unexplained Circumstances on 34th street as to not offend those who don’t believe in Miracles?
