Santa is a Sexist Pig!!!

I thought I'd seen and heard it all.... until yesterday! An Australian company that supplies professional Santa Clauses announced that THEIR Santas will no longer use the traditional greeting of "ho, ho, ho", as it is offensive to women. Seriously! From now on (at least in Australia), Santa will say "ha, ha, ha". Is this what the world is coming to?!?

I am an extremely liberal woman. I value political correctness, to a point. No one needs to run around spewing racial, ethnic, or sexual epitaphs, but come on! Sure, if a stranger walked up to me randomly on the street and used the word "ho", I'd be mad as hell! But we're talking about SANTA!!! I don't know for sure, but I don't THINK when he says "ho, ho, ho" that he's using the modern interpretation. LONG before Jigga (that's Jay-Z, whitebread!) was telling his "bitches and hos" that they "betta have my money to show" Santa was benignly using the word to spread good cheer and love at Christmas time.

You know, my question is, when will it end? I mean, Rudolph COULD offend hardcore animal rights activists. Snowmen really might really impede the global warming activists by "tricking" all of us Americans into thinking that it still gets cold in the world. Blinking lights are offensive to epileptics. Santa's elves COULD be seen as slaves, so that's definitely not P.C.! Every thing's offensive if you look at it long enough!

My other thought is this: Isn't it ironic that the continent who's nickname is "DOWN UNDER" (talk about the potential for offense, well, or at least immature jokes!) is so deeply concerned with "ho, ho, ho"? Just sayin! Anyway, just wanted to let all you bra-burners know that instead of smiling at that Salvation Army Santa on the way out of Walmart you SHOULD be slapping him instead for insulting the flower of womanhood! Merry Christmas!
