SEVENTY YEAR OLD SANTASACKED FROM CAIRNS MYER
CENTRE FOR SINGING:
"HO, HO, HO."
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
The giant retail corporation Myer should hang its head in festive shame for allowing the sacking of Santa at its Myer Centre in Cairns in Far North Queensland.
Santa's crime? Singing "Ho, ho, ho" to the little children.
Seventy-year old John Oakes was summarily dismissed by the head Santa employer Westaff for reciting this ancient chorus.
He was told that it was "not appropriate" to say such a thing to young children.
Westaff employs 550 Santas across Australia and New Zealand and has reportedly directed all of its Santas - including John Oakes at the Cairns Myer Centre - not to say "Ho, ho, ho", as it could scare children or cause offence to women!
What a complete load of absolute cr*p!
The only people acting offensively in this debacle is Westaff.
This poor old septuagenarian in the sweltering heat of North Queensland, dressed day in and day out in a Santa suit, is given his own sack and told to rack off for giving a little bit of Christmas cheer to the young kids of Cairns.
Talk about festive spirit and festive cheer, the good people of Cairns should boycott the Myer Centre until Santa is rightfully reinstated.
They should shout: "No, no, no" to allow their local Santa to resume his "Ho, ho, ho!"

Politics or a burning consumer issue or disgraceful ripoff?
