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.

Jesus Christ! If you're offended by a fucking Santa saying "Ho Ho Ho", then you must be a whore with a giant gaping hallway vagina.

I don't know why they wanna go fuck up Santa. It's like, every year, I see a bunch of black santa figures at the store and I guess that's fine, but why does he have a saxophone? Does he needs to fit into some stereotype of being good at jazz just because he's black? He's a fat fucker that uses slave labor to make toys for kids who are super good from December 22-25 every year, not a musician or a superhero or whatever.
I also saw this:
Santa for Mexicans can't just santa? He has to be some mariachi-wannabe? Why not go the extra mile and give him a bag of oranges to sell on the freeway offramp?
For fuck's sake

ah i love that you used 'santa' as a verb. And to all those anti-'ho ho ho' bitchas, One of my best friends is a Korean named Ho-Jeong, but since when he lived in Saskatchewan no one could pronounce 'Jeong', he decided to call himself Ho. So we're always coming up with all kinds of stupid jokes. Anyway...umm...feminists and whores suck

They do. They're such ho ho hos...
The fact that they feel offended by such a thing is like submitting and signing a confession that you love cock and/or vag. Ok, so maybe not that direct, but the fact that they're being so anal about this one detail, which has been a societal standard since Coke conjured up that image of Santa as we know today, is just.... stupid. =p
I'm hungover, so I'm going to stop.

You know what? These stupid sluts and all the kinds of giga-liberal bitches who support this sort of shit are destroying everything that we know and love. Syd mentioned such a thing in his Halloween article about Chicken McNugget Buddies, and I agree. Mortal Kombat, one of the first games I played, a game series which had an immense effect on my life up to now? Way too violent for these smug, self-righteous bastards. Beloved McDonaldLand characters like Mayor McCheese and the McNuggets? Apparently colorful advertising campaigns like these promote obesity."Ho ho ho"? Too offensive to women. "Ho ho ho" isn't offensive to normal women, even soccer moms, who are notorious for freaking out about sex and violence. It's only offensive to sluts, whores, and prostitutes like these Sydney bitches. They try to defend their sexual promiscuity by calling sexual restraint (not total abstinence, simply moderation and monogamy) a construct of a phallocentric, misognistic society where men are allowed to do whatever they want while women's sex drives are frowned upon, and then they get offended by the laugh of a fat old man at the sight of milk and cookies. Most of this is probably because they hear the cry of their culture and the cry of their evolution screaming at them through the use of the word "ho" by a man that looks like the one that they sucked off at age sixteen. Dirty sluts.

 End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. Then you see it. White shores, and beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise.

Actually it appears this was a tad misconstrued, it seems the change was merely a suggestion from a "suit" in public relations or something like that. Also something about "ho ho ho" being more guttural and aggressive than "ha ha ha"

I figured that maybe it was an australian thing, because I cant recall ever seeing on any of the liberal blogs/news sites a criticism of santas catchphrase. The one website that I did find in my admittedly halfassed search of feminist sites commenting on the matter basically said that it was sorta ridiculous.
The reaction was kinda disturbing.

Well, the Labour party just won the Australian election, so it all make sense to me now.
