That employer's head is clearly not on his shoulders.

Isn't it just another example of over the top political correctness, though? I.e., it's rather widespread that we bend over backwards to be P.C. nowadays.

It's funny, before I even read the story I surmised why they didn't want Santa to say Ho-Ho-Ho... sad, really.

Strange how we've become so PC and fearful in offending others, we start censoring everyone and everything over minute details. Mainly because Santa has said 'Ho-ho-ho' for HOW long, and now all of the sudden the store owner ups and decides the phrase is derrogatory?

I'm surprised Santa himself isn't censored as a symbol since his name is an anagram of Satan and he wears red. Even more so, wonder how McCarthy overlooked him in the 50s and not accused the jolly man of being a Communist.

What next, replace Santa with Fruit Cake Man instead. Oh, wait, he has nuts and might be offensive towards those with nut allergies....

Wotta world!

Maybe Santa can get a job on the Imus show.

HO HO HO! Santa Needs A HO!

Do they think that HO always implies a prostitute? Did you think that in the quote I mentioned above? You can take it either way, I suppose.

Santa has been Imus-ed, AKA Censored.

Once you start censoring Santa Claus, Freedom and Democracy are pretty much a thing of the past.

God forbid if it had been a Black Santa Claus that said that!

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Politically Correct running rampant!
