Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women

Wed Nov 14, 11:04 PM ET

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 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.

Now that is going a bit far. No matter what you do, someone is aways going to find fault.

If Santa looked at me and said 'ha ha ha', I'd think he was taking the mickey, and ask him wtf he was laughing at

Now, if he was saying 'YO, ho ho' I could understand...
