OK, why is it that people have to take things so literally or out of context?

"SYDNEY (AFP) - 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 ThursdayOne 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 need to concentrate on the bigger issue here: ban the Rudploh the Rednose Reindeer song! The song describes how reindeer openly discriminated against red nose reindeers and Management did nothing abouit it, and when Santa decided to make Rudolph is favorite (he has a red nose too), he effectively allowed for a "teacher's pet" (across species!). And while this could be viewed as affirmative action, there is clearly no other reindeer song that describes any other reindeer receiving such treatment.

I will start the petition immediately.
