ha ha ha.. That's not SANTA.. Why not change his outfit color too, since red is considered a girlie color, to a more uni color.. No b/c that would be ridiculous, just like ha ha ha..Chat Icon



Actually, that's how Santa got a red suit in the first place! I'm not sure if there was a specific color that he was supposed to wear (although, I think a lot of Germanic folklore has him wearing green) but Coke put him in a red suit in an ad campaign in the 30's, and it's become the norm ever since.



interesting. learn something new everyday..

Hey question: the woman who got offended by the ho ho ho.. do you think that maybe her feeling that way, should tell you something.. like a little bit self consious??? hmmm

I just saw this and thought it was a joke!! How dumb is this? What is the world coming to? Maybe we shouldn't say "HI" anymore for fear that we may offend a drug user! Chat Icon

Nothing like taking more innocence out of the holidays for kids than comparing santa's "ho ho ho's" to a degrading term for women.

I can think of about a million more things offensive in the world than this. I don't understand this at all!!

I guess there will be no more Tally Ho playing cards.

And Ho Chi Minh City will have to figure something out. I think the name Constantinople is free...

And someone better tell Don Ho he needs to get himself down to the Social Security office to change his name!

Re: No more "Ho Ho Ho" from Santa... Apparently, it offends women.

What offends me are the women who actually find this stuff offensive. It's 2007, ladies. We aren't fighting for the right to vote anymore or the right to attain higher education. If we cry wolf at every stupid little thing that could possibly somehow (if totally and completely stretched our imagination) would be offensive to women, then we're doing ourselves as woman a GIANT disservice.

Let's save our time and energy for women's issues that REALLY need our time and attention. Whining about this sort of stuff just makes people not want to listen when the are legitimate women's rights concerns.
