Here's a nice little festive example to get your blood boiling: Victimisation of Santa Claus.
I live in Melbourne, Australia. About 20 million miles away from the fleshpots of America. Yet it seems that we are culturally tied so closely to those aforementioned fleshpots that there is a danger that people here might mistakenly think that the jolly, rotund, red faced gent is describing them by the American vernacular 'ho. An easy mistake to make, these days, when the traditional figures of yesteryear are all seen out on the street corners taking crack and gunning down competitors at the malls.
What moron decided that the average man in the street (or child for that matter) doesn't understand the meaning of Santa's jolly old 'Ho Ho Ho'? Do they think that We are the ones who need helping?
If you can shed some light on this particular piece of enlightened legislation - please come forward.
