    Absolutely asinine. Santa had Ho Ho Ho before they twisted the word around to mean something else.

    So whats next will Walmart have to rename hoes in the garden dept?


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

      Mitch you'll be pleased to hear that we have also banned the use of the word "asinine" in Australia, due to it's similarity to ... er...... um.... oh never mind.

        I think it would be more offensive to suggest women would automatically think Santa was referring to them if the phrase, "Ho, Ho, Ho" were used.

        As with anything, context is key. I find it odd to think women are so stupid or void of self-esteem as to be offended by Santa's catch-phrase.

        What a sneaky ******* Santa is for getting by these many centuries degrading women in that manner.

            You'd think the article was one of those joke articles or something

              So investing my lifes savings in a line of "Santa Pimp" cards was a bad idea?

                Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha"

                I dunno.

                To me that makes ole St Nick look like he's insulting his guests

                In a few years, the term "ho" will be out of fashion--- leaving these people looking pretty stupid

                      Now we know the common link that makes Santa and the Green Giant both "jolly". Who would have thought it would be a shared weakness for the common ho'?

                          Ok, even as a woman, I find this ridiculous. Santa was using this phrase before the "ebonics" word for ***** was used. So what are they saying, that Santa's speaking ebonics now? Puh-LEASE!
                          "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                          'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                          If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
