Ho Ho Ho = No No No

This is one that I simply have to post... it's a pic from the front page of the Cairns Post today about Santa being sacked.

Now I thought things got a little out of hand when everyone (you know who I mean by "everyone") freaked out about the Jackson-Timberlake event at the Super Bowl half time show. In my opinion, they needed to take a chill pill because I remember the days when ABC showed Sharon Lawrence's butt and boobs on NYPD Blue without so much as a blip on the radar. I mean, c'mon - Howard Stern had been doing the same PG-17 shtick for decades, but when Janet's non-nipple exposure hits the nation, the FCC kicks him off and sends him over to satellite radio.

Well, this one is a little bit better... and worse...

A department store company here in Oz hired thier Santas under two conditions: 1) they're not allowed to sing Christmas Carols because they might offend the non-christians, and 2) they're not allowed to say "Ho Ho Ho" because they fear it will scare the children (Huh?!!)

Long story short, the Santa pictured above was caught Ho-Ho-Ho-ing and was fired from his job for being the Santa every kid enjoys. And suddenly I find myself wondering what would've happened if Santa sang Deck the Halls.

It's a crazy world we live in... hang on and enjoy the ride :)

Cheers, Matt
