No joke (broken link). Are we becoming this sensitive, now? Apparently so!

I think I'm going to start my own group... POOP.

People Offended by Offended People.

And, please... anyone who would be offended by "ho ho ho"... check out my buddy's latest (broken link)to be released on CD by Thanksgiving.

Why don't they go all the way past ridiculous (like the schools do) and tell Santa not to wear red anymore either. After all, there is a gang that wears it.

I'm glad I don't have little kids anymore.
My teens and all their friends are watching all this PC garbage. There is going to be a backlash when they become parents.

santa could be considered a gang leader (or cult leader depending upon how you want to look at it). All those elves following him and doing what he tells them to do.

This is just crazy. Soon the only left of christmas will be gift buying. mmm.... maybe the stores and malls are behind all this. They're trying to get us to forget everything associated with christmas expect spending money.

Last week on my local news there was a story about a school that had to cancel a field trip to see the play miracle on 34th street because a couple of parents complained it was a play about santa. Yah that's exactly right, the ENTIRE play is about santa, nothing more nothing less, there's no other meaning behind that play.

HUM BUG! Oh Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Hey... don't laugh too hard. In Winchester, Massachusetts, the entire 7th grade was planning to go to the theatre and see the stage version of "Miracle on 34th Street". When it was determined that the "basic theme" of the play was objectionable to some members of the Middle School, the principal canned the trip for everyone, issuing the following public statement. "While I believe there are valid reasons for participating in such a trip, the objectionable nature of the content overrides these concerns."

Yes winchester that was it. I'm in mass too. I couldn't remember the town. INSANE! Don't these parents realize there is WAY more to that story than just a little girl believes in santa. UGH!

I would honestly be rather happy if they just got rid of Christmas completely. Along with that it'd be nice to get rid of Easter, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving. The following holidays I would keep: Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Labor Day, New Years, and (possibly) Halloween (just for fun).
