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.

"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.

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.
