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.


"Gimme a break," said Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children called Kids Free 2B Kids.


"We are talking about little kids who do not understand that "ho, ho, ho" has any other connotation and nor should they," she told the Telegraph.


"Leave Santa alone."


A local spokesman for the US-based Westaff recruitment firm said it was "misleading" to say the company had banned Santa's traditional greeting and it was being left up to the discretion of the individual Santa himself.

Sure it does, but only if you launch the kid up in the air on the third "skeet".

*mental note* suggest to step brother and sister in law to skip getting the nieces pic taken with santa this year.

though i think it should be socially acceptable to say "ho ho milf" in some cases.

I despise Christmas, but this is rediculous. Santa has been saying, "Ho ho ho" for as long as his current incarnation has existed. If you're offended by the phrase "Ho ho ho" you probably need to close your legs.

Haha - where I come from the launch is on the third "skeet". Kinda like "ready, aim, fire".

Now I've got visions of a psychotic elf with presents loaded into a ballista.

I don't have kids and I don't live in Australia but I know that if I had kids and lived in Australia and we went to see Santa and he said ha ha ha instead of ho ho ho, I'd be pissed off.

Especially to learn it was to not offend US prostitutes. I mean, come on!!!!
