Australian Santa’s have been banned from saying ‘Ho ho ho’.
Recruitment company Westaff is responsible for supplying most of Australia’s shopping mall Santas. This year the company is urging its Father Christmases (or should that be Fathers Christmas?) to change their traditional expression of festive delight from ‘Ho, ho ho’ to ‘Ha, ha, ha.’
Two Santa trainees on a Westaff course in Adelaide reportedly left the group after the ‘Ho’ ban was announced. Another Santa said, “We were told [the word ‘ho’] was a derogatory term for females and can upset people. As far as I’m concerned, a hoe is something you dig the ground with…read more about Ha Ha Ha Santas

Women to go to work in their underwear
Giving a new meaning to ‘dress down Friday’…
Taizhong, TAIWAN – A Taiwanese lingerie business asked all female staff to strip off for work on 21 November. The Audrey Underwear Company requested that the 500 female employees at the firm’s headquarters spend the day in their underwear to promote what management dubbed ‘Camisole Day’ last week.
The company’s PR manager explained that Audrey Underwear had sold over 20 000 camisoles in less than two months and decided to celebrate by naming 21 Nov ‘Camisole Day’.

Ridiculous Laws: Mince Pies on Christmas Day is Criminal Offence
According to UK legislation it is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day. Yup, really. All those decades of kids who’ve left a mince pie treat out for Santa on Christmas Eve… I guess they could be charged with incitement. And as for the parents who gobbled down Santa’s pie – yes, of course you had to or your kid would be upset – you better hope you did it before midnight.
The law was introduced in 1644 by Oliver Cromwell to combat gluttony. What festive spirit. This law is one of many obsolete decrees that modern justice has neglected to cancel and is therefore – in theory – still, erm, legal.
A public vote has determined the most absurd British and International laws, reports the Telegraph.
The mince pie ban was voted the fourth most ridiculous law; the number one spot went to…read more about ridiculous laws
