Whats up with Santas being told to say ha ha ha and not ho ho ho?
I just read an article on Yahoo news that people posing as Santa in Australia have been asked to say ha ha ha and not ho ho ho because of its American slang meaning prostitute.
I think that is ridiculous. Santa doesn't say ha ha ha.
Please tell me what you think.

It is completely rediculous. Santa isn't going around calling people hoes. People have ruined the word, not Santa. Not everyone thinks of a hoe whenever he says "ho ho ho."

People are ignortant and ridiculous.
Tell them to read some old stories and understand the meaning of a world. One shouldn't take offense at a word in a context it is not insultful, EVER.

It should only be offensive to women traveling in groups of 3.
