While conducting my weekly shop at a local supermarket I stumbled upon this very inappropriate piece of Christmas advertising on a traditional chocolate treat. As we are all aware, and for good reason, Santas around the country (and hopefully the world) are no longer to say “Ho ho ho” due to its offensive nature. The last thing I need to deal with is my four-year-old child running around the house spouting such offensive language.
Rest assured that I will be contacting the producer of this product, Kraft, to inform them of the extremely inappropriate labelling of their product. Please join me in boycotting this treat at Christmas time to help reinforce the message to this company.
I think now is a good time to point out that “Ho Ho Ho” is meant to mean “hello and take notice everyone”.
Not, Merry Xmas, Where doe’s bitches at?
Are you fair dinkum? I hope you contact Kraft…….and they tell you to grow up & get a life.
Bloody ho ho ho indeed.
Godess…. it’s “whore” not “wh&re”. How hard is this to get.

Ho Ho Ho has been around a long time. A ho is the sound that emanates from a Jerry Springer show *guest* when he’s actually saying wh&re. So, it’s a misunderstanding and nobody should be offended.

I think you’ll find that you have to pay extra for rubber Hos.
Anyway, as Tiger Woods would say, “Three Hos are better than a hole-in-one”……

You mean getting an old man to dress up in red pyjamas and a fake beard then getting innocent kiddies to sit on his lap and whisper sweet nothings into his doesn’t?
This reminds me of the time Santa was in court for slander. The opposite QC said ” I put to to you Mr Clause that not once, not twice but three times you called my client a Ho…”

No because it’s crap.

I love when there is a moment of intelligence. Its like a warm light in a dark, dark world.

And do we have to start calling Ottomans Ottomans?
I fail to see how a slang word from a foreign country can be termed offensive here. Do we have to re-name thsoe long-handled garden implements too?

I’d hope that it was my “fantastic” use of the English language that got them riled up, than any naivety on their part. I was really digging for honest reactions as opposed to a “Yes Man” response. All credit to those who spoke (typed?) their minds.
… and you better not be trolling 😉

I love how people wait for 42 posts and an explanation before saying how naive people are for attacking the OP.

I love how naive the people who starting attacking the OP are.

I use straitjackets, earplugs & breastfeed till age 12.
I have to wonder if the cotton wool that you wrap your children in gets in the way of their eating?
Or take the dirty old mans advice and get yourself a couple of whore’s this Christmas.
HoHoHO Merry Christmas.

Congrats to ‘dpm’ for picking me up on this one… I’ll have to send you a HO HO HO Toblerone for your indulgence.
PC has gone over the top here and this post has more than adequately highlighted the issue. The current Santa changes are not reflected by public opinion; it’s time to ease up on our photogenic friends..
How will the OP cope when the kiddies at Carols by Candlelight sing about ‘making the yuletide gay’?
