Apparently there's a city in Australia that is banning Santas from saying "Ho ho ho" because it's "offensive to women".  Has the world become so PC that even a man's laughter is on trial?

Look, Santa's laugh is a trademark and it's on every card with his face, in every book or TV show or movie with his character, and it's completely engrained in the minds of every person OVER TWO that getting rid of it for that stupid a reason is a travesty and dispicably moronic.  Not to mention bleeding impossible.  Won't reading it and hearing it on a screen be just as offensive as hearing it in person?  More so, because those forms of media last longer than memory?

Children don't know about derogatory names for women, and they have until about age ten to remain pure and ignorant about the evils and idiocy of the world.  Some have less, some have more.  But they should be aloud to hear laughter.  And as for the women that got offended by this...WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!  Did you wake up one morning and say, "Hmm, I think I'll pick a fight with a child's cultural icon...wonder which one...getting kinda cold out here...I KNOW!!  SANTA!"  I don't have a particular problem with feminists, but when you get fucking STUPID about it, that's where I draw the damned line.

I can see it now: some overweight, middle-aged woman is walking down the street.  She's got beady, watery little eyes set deep in her face, a pointy nose, stubby legs, and at least three chins.  You know the type.  Anyway, she's meandering down the street, going to do her week's shopping for one, when suddenly she is a accosted by a morbidly obesce, old, hairy man in a red suit and black boots.  "HO HO HO!" he shouts in a jovial voice.  She shrieks in offence for all the street to hear, swinging her purse and practically weeping, disgusted that anyone dare say such a thing to her.  Yes, and so she begins her crusade against politically incorrect, morbidly obesce, old, hairy men in red suits, who seem to be all over the streetcorners these days, to protect and defend women everywhere from vile insult.

Jesus Christ, that's so stupid I bet it's exactly what happened.
