Political correctness gone amuck?

SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

This is ridiculous. That Dom Imus BS from a few months ago is spreading overseas now. Great. (Oh, that...fool's new show starts in a few weeks. Whoever allowed this to happen should be shot. Many times.). OK, let's ban Santa speaking altogether so he cannot offend anyone.
What's next? I heard that a school system actually banned all forms of public affection by students....including any form of hugging. Two female students actually got detention, maybe even a suspension for this. Hugging? Are you kidding me?
