Saginaw Christmas Festival Renamed

(Saginaw, Michigan) Check this out.

The traditional Dickens Christmas Festival has been re-named the Dickens Holiday Festival so the city can advertise in local schools.

In order to get more bang for their buck out of a thinning advertisement budget, the organization wants to put fliers in schools. For that to happen, the word "Christmas" had to be removed.

Downtown Development Coordinator Michelle Sponseller said many people are unhappy with the change.

"We changed the name this year for the schools because we wanted to advertise in the school brochures and the schools have a list of words you can't use like Santa, Christmas and Nativity. So did a brochure for the schools and we took those words out."

The school system is obviously run by a bunch of PC picklewads.

Just wondering -- could the words "AntaSay" and "IstmasChray" be used? I bet the kids wouldn't mind.
