Santa called my mom a "ho", not once but THREE TIMES!

From Yahoo! News: Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to women

I'm just thankful that for once, this story didn't happen in America.

I so want to make a comment about this, but it would be so wrong by the rules that I will refrain.

I am shocked that this wasn't here in the U.S.

Yep, just about my feelings on it. Aaaaaaand we'll leave it at that

But apparently it's a US based "recruitment firm" that is telling the Santas not to do it...

I can't imagine Australians thinking of it on their own. I mean, you might know what another country's slang is (sometimes), but you don't really think about it.

You know what would be funny - the greeter at the Wal-Mart in Tel Aviv being ordered to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays".

Ho Ho Ho LOL


How soon until we can't describe a dark colored car as a Black Car, or Christmas as Christmas? How far can this go?


"I am sorry. I'm affended that you refer to me as a person. I am an unique individual. Person suggests I am like others."


LOL comon

I think everybody should just not do or say anything. Just in case someone is offended.

I was listening to the TV news in the background the other day and I thought they were talking about how EN World is offensive. I ran out to the living room to see what is was about. Turns out they were talking about the N-Word....

I'm so confused

Well, Eric's Grandma is pretty offensive....
