CANBERRA (Reuters) - A Santa in an Australian department store said on Wednesday he has been fired for saying "ho ho ho" and singing Christmas songs to children.
Employment company Westaff, which supplies stores with red-robed, white-bearded Father Christmases, had earlier asked its Santas to say "ha ha ha" because the word "ho," which is American slang for whore, could offend women, media reported.
In the latest incident, the Cairns Post newspaper said 70-year-old John Oakes was fired on Monday for saying "ho ho ho" and for singing the Christmas song Jingle Bells.

It's America's fault though. So America has lost more awesomeness then Australia.

[n00b1n8R]

because the word "ho," which is American slang for whoreyour fault, not ours. :downs:
phobo get on xfire >:U

[Bodzilla]

your fault, not ours. :downs:

still doesnt change the fact that Australians are fucking stupid for tring to be politically correct in the first place.


i mean jesus christ. it's about fucking time we stopped following America around like a lost dog.

FTFY.

[p0lar_bear]

That's pretty retarded. Anyone who gets offended by a Santa Claus "ho, ho, ho!" needs to be bitchslapped and re-educated on the fucking fundamentals of CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

While on the subject of political correctness, let me just say that I have made a point while at work to wish people a "Merry Christmas" and not "Happy Holidays," simply because I only celebrate Christmas. I don't know why the fuck people get offended over this crap; if someone came up to me and wished me a Happy Chanukah or Kwanzaa, I would shoot them a "thanks, you too," even though I don't celebrate those holidays, simply because it's their holiday. If they want me to enjoy the day(s) their holiday(s) fall on, I will try.

Also, I believe I have seen the term "holiday tree" on some of the packages on the seasonal flat at work, and I want to puke. IT'S A GODDAMN CHRISTMAS TREE, DECORATED WITH SILVER AND GOLD DECORATIONS WITH A STAR OR ANGEL ON THE TOP TO REPRESENT THE EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED ON DECEMBER 25, YEAR 0, AKA JESUS CHRIST'S DATE OF BIRTH.

The holiday season Christmas nowadays makes me fucking sick to my stomach. People forget that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, and not about shopping your ass off to get expensive electronics for your bratty fucking 10 year old who should get a fucking belt to the ass instead of nice gifts.

Holy shit do I feel better now. :D

Hello everyone. *clears throat*
I have an announcement I would like to make.
Over the past few years, I've seen Christmases come and go, and I've noticed that things are becoming a bit, well, out of focus lately. Christmas used to be just about being with your loved ones to celebrate the birth of, well, Me, your Lord and Savior. Now, this Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, as you have probably come to know him, is a great guy and all. He gives gifts to the needy, feeds the children, cleans your chimney, you get the picture. But it stops there. He only does this one day a year. That's why he's only a saint, and not your God. He already has his own holiday - All Saints Day, and thats perfectly fine by me. But Christmas isn't about getting gifts or TV specials or Coca-Cola, its about Me. So, this next Christmas, I don't want to see any presents. I don't want to see any flying reindeer or big jolly guys in red suits. I don't want to see any holiday products or sales. I want to see YOU celebrating MY message of peace and love. PEACE AND LOVE DAMNIT!!!

Thank you for your time.

Jesus solves this whole problem here and now.

PEACE AND LOVE DAMNIT!!!

I think we should steer this away from america's downfall, and instead start ranting about why idiots have to be politically correct. I mean, what happened to common sense? It's not so common anymore. Where's the logic in suing mcdonalds for making you fat? Where's the logic in calling it "happy holiday" to remain religiously and culturally neutral, when it can only be a true "holiday" if its relating to a religious or cultural event? When did everybody start crying wolf (or in this case, anti-semitic or racist)?

We need another Ark, and another flood. Halo, please redeem us.

[n00b1n8R]

you have to be polically correct these days to avoid getting your ass sued for offending someone.

[Kalub]

I say, we go open season on the retards.


Please go to your nearest armory and purchase an 8-gauge with some nice slugs, but only if you know what those are/have the IQ of 100+. (Very Lenient)

If not please report next door for the "birthday party."

[n00b1n8R]

where there will be delicious cake :downs:

[Dr Nick]

That makes no sense at all!

It's the fuckwits who are perverted enough to combine the thoughts of Santa and hookers that should change.

Oh right. That's my opinion, just so no asshats try to flame the fuck out of me for "forcing my beliefs on others"

[Kalub]

Very much so, I'm hoping to see everyone there. :)

[Timo]

They don't throw lollies at christmas parades here, because kids may run onto the street to grab them and get run over by the floats, or be hit by the lollies and get injured. :smith:

[nooBBooze]

I say, we go open season on the retards.

for every retard you kill, 10 new ones will be born.

also, i would never worship santa claus. i mean that dude is tm of coca cola right? it would be like worshipping ronald mc donald.
thats why down here, we get our presents from baby jesus yay!


merry christmas btw.

Can you legally trademark a national figure? O_o;


Quick someone invent a gas, that only activates when you try to be politically correct. That'll fix 'em

We could make them watch something from Japan with gratuitous panty-shots and make them claw their own brains out because they can't grasp why women aren't being treated correctly in a piece of fiction.

[Rosco]

Wow, that's like if a fight the power team got shotguns banned from the army simply because they thought slugs would be offended. If it happens, I win 20 bucks.

[Kornman00]

go mow a lawn rec0

[Pooky]

I don't really have anything to say to that kind of bull shit™ tbh.

Ever wonder why santa wears red and white?

Holy shit do I feel better now. :DIAWTP. I can't rep you again so soon. :gonk:

Also, I'd make my own comment, but you basically summed the entire thing up right there.

Speaking of crazy Aussies...

A WEST Australian medical expert wants families to pay a $5000-plus "baby levy" at birth and an annual carbon tax of up to $800 a child.

I've heard of 2 massacres in the US this year alone, you provided one to me from 11 years ago.

K. Still doesn't mean that didn't happen.

Also, gun laws.

[jcap]

Since when do one or two mentally unstable assholes stand for 300 million people?

[TeeKup]

Case and point.

Don't judge all of us just because one or two emo assholes had a meltdown.

[n00b1n8R]

Sorry, it sounded like you were all judging australia because of some suits trying not to get their ass's sued.

[ExAm]

They don't throw lollies at christmas parades here, because kids may run onto the street to grab them and get run over by the floats, or be hit by the lollies and get injured. :smith:I throw my lollies at that remark :awesome:

But seriously, that's retarded. It's all for fear of lawsuits, which have gone up in disturbing numbers. It just shocks me how many people are that greedy :/

[p0lar_bear]

It has come to my attention that people think I'm a little overly religious with my previous post. I assure you, I'm as agnostic as they come. But, what was said is true. Christmas is a religious holiday, and save for that phase that everyone has in their tweens where they milk it for all its worth, I've always viewed it as such. It's a time for people to celebrate the tradition of "Peace on Earth" by coming together with friends and family and exchanging tokens of gratitude, thanks, or love.

Like I said, it makes me sick to see all of the bratty fucking kids and "I'm-Right-And-You're-Wrong-So-Fucking-Give-It-To-Me-For-The-Price-I-Want-Before-I-Fucking-Stab-You" adults shitting up the stores and ruining the aura for the people trying to enjoy it.

[ExAm]

First it went from a religious holiday, to more of a celebration of good will and spirit, then to an overcommercialized genetic mutation that is probably now sitting in the product testing lab of Wal-Mart headquarters, gurgling feebly, "kill meeeeeee".

I preferred it when it was more a pseudo-secular holiday, when it was a sort of a default holiday for non-religious people, in addition to the christians who already celebrate it.

[DaneO'Roo]

Sorry, it sounded like you were all judging australia because of some suits trying not to get their ass's sued.

thank ye. I had forgotten that part. Corrected so that laypersons do not learn the wrong way to say "Hello" in Australian.

[Bodzilla]

it's more like "G'Day Mayt"

Maaaaayt.

Did they make spam posts or something, or is one of the mods just having an off day?

[jcap]

Those posts did not have the slightest thing to do with the topic at hand. Neither does yours. Nothing more to see here; carry on now.

I would like to congratulate the other 3 Australians who helped with this endeavour.

We did it boys, we got a Fractacular.
