SHARPTON, JACKSON FIND HO'S EVERYWHERE

NEW YORK - Controversy erupts again as Rev. Al Sharpton is claiming that Santa's signature jolly laugh, "Ho, Ho, Ho," is in reality a taunt directed at the Rutgers Women's Basketball team. Sharpton is calling for Santa to apologize and step down from his post as mythical, gift bearing icon, beloved to children of all ages. "Look, Santa's been white for ages; it's time we get a Santa who is more sensitive to the needs of the minority community," said Sharpton. Sharpton is calling for weatherman Al Roker to take over Mr. Claus' duties. "Hell, he can gain that weight back by Christmas."

Rev Jesse Jackson is also continuing to pursue what he is now calling "the ho-locaust" of racism in today's media by calling for a boycott of Howard Johnson's restaurants, because of its nickname, "Ho-Jo's." Jackson claims the name is a racial slur directed at the Johns Hopkins University women's basketball team. Jackson reportedly will also call for a boycott of all British products because of the British usage of "Tally ho."
