I think it goes to the point that people who want to be offended can find something, anything, stupid things with which to be offended.

Recruitment firm Westaff — which supplies hundreds of Santas across the country — has told its trainees that the "ho ho ho" phrase could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women.

Who is this prat? Send him to me and I will sort this fecking pencil pushing pin head out. ;)

"Frighten children"? I never heard that one before - sounds like an excuse someone made up to provide extra and artificial support for their true purpose - 'preventing' the "derogatory to women" effect.

"We are talking about little kids who do not understand that 'ho, ho, ho' has any other connotation, and nor should they."
My two girls know that 'ho ho ho' means Santa. For crying out loud, my girls would never associate 'ho ho ho' to mean anything else. The world has really gone over the edge.
