When it comes to letting out a spirited "ho, ho, ho," it seems that Santas in Australia are being told, "no, no, no."

The Daily Telegraph in Sydney reported that those portraying Santa Claus in the nation's largest city must not use the Jolly Old Elf's traditional laugh because it could be offensive to women.

Instead, the Santas are being told, they should say "ha, ha, ha," the newspaper reported.

One Santa told the newspaper that a recruiting firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could scare kids and was too similar to "ho," a shortened version of a slang term for a prostitute.

An Aussie spokesman for the Westaff recruitment firm told the Telegraph that it was misleading to say the company had banned the greeting and it was being left to each individual Santa to decide.

DWARDSVILLE, Ill. -- Two students at Southern Illinois University kidnapped, paddled and burned a young man with freshly baked cookies after a drug deal went bad, prosecutors alleged.

Madison County prosecutors on Monday charged Rosario James, 23, and Jordan Sallis, 20, each with two counts of aggravated kidnapping and one count of robbery and aggravated battery.

Both were jailed Tuesday on $150,000 apiece.

Sheriff's Capt. Brad Wells said that Friday night, three men went to James' house to buy marijuana, but two of them grabbed the drugs and fled, leaving the third behind. The suspects held that man, who is in his late teens, and told him he needed to find $400 for the drugs, Wells said.

The suspects beat the man with a wooden paddle, burned his neck and shoulders with cookies immediately after taking them from the oven, shaved off some of his hair and poured urine over him from a soda bottle, Wells said.

"They were torturing him," Wells said.

Hours later, Wells said, the victim managed to escape and call police after the suspects drove him to a house to get money for the drugs.

The victim sustained severe bruising but was not hospitalized.

Both suspects were arrested Saturday morning.
