Give me a break! When do normal people's rights concerning religion, Christmas, or anything else begin to count? I am so sick of political correctness, I could throw up. Merry Christmas!

Only actual hoes could be offended at "Ho, Ho, Ho," and if they are, then maybe they should make some good New Year's resolutions to fix their position in life. :) Sincerely, Bob in Wilmington, Delaware

I'm offended when Austrailians call everyone "MATE"

I was brought up thinking that a hoe was a garden tool. Are we going to start taking slang terms and try to keep it politically correct now? Give me a break people, i think we all have better things to worry about.

it just had to happen sooner or later...

OH, COME ON! First I hear the Cleveland Indians being discriminated against because they have an "offensive name" and now this? Doesn't America have better things to do with their time than pick on something as stupid as this? Children have been hearing "Santa" laugh "ho ho ho" ever since they were born. Why stop now? I just don't see how it's offensive, and if you are offended by it, I'm sorry but you have to get some help.

What the hell are "FAMILY TREES"??? Does anyone know? For God's sake they are CHRISTMAS TREES!!! I wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! No apologies here........

The idiots who get offended by something like this are reaching way too far. Wussies. They need to get a life. They probably suffer from daily alien abductions, chemtrails and see Sasquatch often. They need to put down the crack pipe and join the sane world.

What makes saying "Ho, Ho, Ho" appropriate is how you say it fast, not slow. If it were slower then there would be a reason to get offended. But saying it fast strings it as its own original meaning.

If people are offended with all things related to Christmas, then they should not be allowed to observe the holiday as well. It is what it is. They should be the ones that have to work and not be allowed to enjoy what is such a special time to so many.

I think to world is going to Hell in a hand basket. Christmas has been here since time began and if people don't like it then don't celebrate it. Quit changing our holiday seasons names to fit those who don't agree. I don't agree with a lot of cultures holidays, therefore I don't celebrate them. And I certainly don't acknowlegde them. So if you don't want someone to say "Merry Christmas" to you then go dig a hole in the ground and hide during December. As for the ''ho, ho, ho,'' thing, grow the hell up people. Santa Clause is for little kids and as long as the media doesn't turn him into a pimp. Ho, ho, ho will be exactly what it is. His greeting! Some people are so damn stupid! Touchy assholes!

Punchy... hahahahaha!!!
If a ho-ho'ing Santa offends you, kiss Rudolph's reindeer a$$!!

The santa clause phrase "ho ho ho" has been around longer than the derrogatory term for a woman. We should stop slamming christmas in the dirt and stop people from calling women hoes, it's only fair that the one who was around first gets to stay! It am so sick and tired of this political correctness BS! Christmas is supposed to be fun, warm and familytime, not a time for people to be looking over their shoulders so they don't "offend anyone" I am a woman, my mother and my aunts and every woman I know is a woman and not a single ONE of them is offended when a santa claus says "ho ho ho" in their presence! That's what sants does! and how can a fat man in a bright red suit shouting HA HA HA be any less scary than the same guy saying HO HO HO? There is christmas wrapping paper and christmas ornaments with the words HO HO HO on them, what are they going to do with those? Put big black censor bars over them? that's full of christmas cheer. People need to lighten up a little tiny bit every now and then and stop being such mean harda$$es. If I ever get to go to Australia on Christmas time, I will shout HO HO HO to everyone I see, Christmas supposed to be for FUN, not a bunch of stupid rules. And if the australians see me as a crass stupid american, then I would rather be a stupid american who enjoys herself at christmas than a tightwad australian who can't enjoy the daylight!

Typical liberal-induced law. Soon they'll shut everyone's mouth and we will be listening to Big Brother give us orders of what to do from cradle to grave.

are you kidding me? i agree with the poster who is fed up with political correctness. i'm afraid to ask what's next.
let's let children have the fantasy world as long as they can, before they realize how messed up the real world really is.
it's getting to the point where people don't talk because they don't know what to say. how sad is that...........in this country where 'everybody has a right to their opinion'. i understand when opinions can hurt feelings, and i don't mean to say that is okay, but, really people. there has to be a happy medium somewhere.

These offended parties should all leave the country with Alec Baldwin now.

Ho's aint bitching, protesting or moaning about it and if they'd had a fat chance with fat Saint Nick, they'd probably party on with him, not a one nighter, but the whole damn year and forever! So chill, 'HO, HO, HO IS FINE; AS LONG AS IT AIN'T TO OFFEND WHORES WHO CHARGE EXHORBITANT AMOUNTS! AND WHY ARE WE ANWERING TO THIS STUPID 'AOL' BLOG ANYWAYS? THEY'RE PUSHING US TO THE LIMITS, AREN'T THEY?

How to eliminate this "you offend me" crap? Educate liberals on politics since their parents misled them.
