Exagerados | Querem Papai Noel dizendo 'ha ha ha' em lugar de 'ho ho ho' 08:44 
A empresa de recrutamento Westaff, em Sydney, na Australia, está tentando 
implantar uma versao de Papai Noel mais do que politicamente correto. 
Fornecedora de Papais Noeis para todo o país, quer que seus contratados nao 
digam mais o tradicional 'ho ho ho'. Devem dizer 'ha ha ha'. A expressao 
original, segundo a empresa, pode assustar as crianças e seria ofensiva para as 
mulheres, por que o som lembraria 'whore' (prostituta). Até grupos ativistas 
pelos direitos das crianças acham que a empresa de recrutamento exagerou.

Santa Claus outraged by 'ho ho ho' ban

"Ho ho ho" turned to "ha ha ha" for PC reasons
  a.. Ho ho ho "could frighten kids, derogatory to women"
  b.. Santas rebel
HE  is an unlikely revolutionary but this Christmas, Santa is a rebel with a 
claus.

He is having the last laugh on political correctness - and it's a great big fat 
belly laugh. 

Santas across Sydney are rebelling against attempts to ban their traditional 
greeting of "ho, ho, ho" in favour of "ha, ha, ha". 

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. 

Two Santa hopefuls reportedly quit the course because of the hullabaloo of the 
ho, ho, ho. 

One would-be Santa has told The Daily Telegraph he was taught not to use "ho, 
ho, ho" because it was too close to the American slang for prostitute. He also 
quit. 

"Gimme a break," Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children 
called Kids Free 2B Kids, said. 

"We are talking about little kids who do not understand that "ho, ho, ho" has 
any other connotation and nor should they. 

"Leave Santa alone." 

Australian Childhood Foundation chief executive officer Dr Joe Tucci said it 
was the latest example of political correctness gone mad. 

"There is no stronger tradition for children than Santa's ho, ho, ho," Dr Tucci 
said.
