This might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

[PROCON]

Yes, at least in the Top Ten.

While we’re at it what are the Dumbest Things FReepers have ever heard??

[muawiyah]

Now, for a cold blast of reality. People engaging in that quaint folk ritual of drinking reindeer urine after the reindeer has consumed large quantities of amanita muscaria (an hallucinogenic mushroom that grows in the Arctic) frequently emit a distinct "ho, ho, ho" sound while under the influence.

BTW, this is the substance identified by the ancients as "soma". It seems that it is not destroyed or metabolised as it passes through the body to the kidneys, so it may be used repeatedly.

This reminds me of a movement here in Massachusetts to ban trick or treating on Halloween. That too supposedly conjures up images of prostitution because the "trick" could be interpreted as a desire to perform a sexual act for money and the "treat" could be interpreted as performing the same sex act for free.

Liberal do-gooders sure do think of prostitution a lot.

Nappy-headed Santa ho.

I seem to recall a joke where a beauty pageant couldn’t find any females to run for “Miss Idaho” for similar reasons...

[snarks_when_bored]

Santa in PC ban: 'Ho, ho, ho' means prostitutes?

So now even Santa has to be niggardly with his ho's?

“...This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!...”

That’s not the dumbest hing you’ve ever heard, waggs. There are things to come that will make this pale in camparrison. That I promise.

[mware]

Just in the last three days, we have had suggestions from a city in Colorado to ban red and green lights. From Lowes we have "family trees" instead of Christmas trees and now from Australia we have Ho, Ho, Ho being equated to prostitution.

..and it is not even Thanksgiving

[metmom]

Scrappleface would be jealous.... that they didn’t think of it first.

Can somebody stop the planet and let me off?

[G Larry]

This culture will not survive the lowest 2% of the population defining allowable behavior!

[KeyesPlease]

Hey Hey, Ho Ho, this PC bull$hit has got to go.....

[napscoordinator]

Oh great. Things are seriously beginning to get out of control. I can’t believe it!!!

[iam4santa]

I say give Santa back his, “HO, HO, HO!” To me having Santa say, “HA, HA, HA” is even worse as in all of the cartoons the villan who is scary says that!
If HO, HO, HO offends women because of a profession they chose to do then they can either turn a deafs ear or get out of the business.
What is next having a skinny Santa as not to offend those of us who have a weight problem, or have him shave his beard because of offending men who can’t grow them.
Give me a break. Santa has always said Ho,Ho,Ho and should be allowed to continue to do so. These people need to get their minds out of the gutter and leave it alone.
I for one do not want to see the Xmas shows, books, stories and songs all rewritten because of this.
You don’t like it don’t take your kid to see Santa. It isn’t really Santa saying, Ho,Ho,Ho that is scaring the kids did you fools ever stop and think it is because on a daily basis we tell kids not to talk to strangers, don’t go near strangers etc and what do we as parents do? We put them on a perfect strangers lap.
Give our Jolly Ole Elf Santa his Ho,Ho,Ho back and our Christmas Tree as well. Yes I share it with my family but guess what folks I don’t leave it up all year, it comes out at what time??????? Christmas! Thereby it is a Christmas Tree not a Family Tree, I have one of those in my yard that we enjoy all year.
So if you don’t like my celebrations then don’t celebrate but let those of us who do, Celebrate the way we want.
