Though we now know that the banning of Westfield’s Santa saying “HO HO HO” was an exaggeration. And both Myers, David Jones and Westfields to their credit released statements assuring the public that the “HO HO HO” will not be “Going, Going, Gone” from their Santas, which then they proceeded to then poured a large amount of marketing dribble over the whole thing.
[dust off my hands, case closed]………[or is it?]
The fact is that so many believed it. At first like everyone else I reacted to the news with a mixture of horror, disgust and anger, but then my common sense kicked in. So a total (when I last looked) of 375 commented about the article after only being posted for a few hours on ninensm, nearly every paper in the country has had a go at the story and last nights news……anything sound wrong to you, you know something missing????
We have war in multiple places in the world, children suffering in some way shape or form, drug and alcohol abuse rampant, bad traffic, a state government that’s lost it’s marbles (if it ever had them) and we get all in a huff about what some guy in a red suit that was given to him by a large multi-national soft drink company because it fitted better with their marketing plans……..stuff Santa, who cares what he says, as long as somewhere along the line we all stop, think, reflect upon just how good we all have it and give a little something to the local charity (at least).
I would now like to take the opportunity to say Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ ninensm - Sydney Santas rebel against ho-ho no-no
