Well Praise Jesus, and isn't it about time that American companies start backing Jesus instead of satan's army of queers? God Bless the Hallmark corporation, and let's Pray that it spreads.

Hallmark removes the word 'gay' from Deck The Halls holiday ornament sparking fury from customers

• Lyric from the 19th century carol has been changed to: 'Don we now our FUN apparel'
• Hallmark said today: 'When the lyrics to Deck the Halls were translated from Gaelic and published in English back in the 1800s, the word gay meant festive or merry...Today it has multiple meanings, which we thought could leave our intent open to misinterpretation.'

Hallmark has provoked outrage and ridicule from its customers after changing the words of a traditional Christmal carol on a festive ornament.

The gaudy, red sweater ornament has dropped the word 'gay' for the word 'fun' in the lyric from the 19th-century carol Deck The Halls.

The original line - 'Don we now our gay apparel' - has been altered by the Kansas-City based company for its new line of holiday merchandise. It now reads: 'Don we now our FUN apparel.'

The ornament of the holiday sweater, decorated with bells, bow and priced at $12.95, is described as: 'When it comes to Christmas sweaters, gaudy can be good! Hang up this flashy sweater to make your tree's outfit complete.

'With its catchy phrase, Don we now our FUN apparel! everyone will be in on the joke.'

However the break with the traditional carol sparked anger among Hallmark customers who took to the company's Facebook page to complain.

Val Buoni posted on Thursday: 'Hallmark has just made my boycott list for the idiotic change of lyrics in Deck the Halls. I will NEVER purchase anything from Hallmark again.

'Furthermore your ridiculous attempt at political correctness assumes that homosexuals dress differently. So you've alienated Christians as well as homosexuals.....good job Hallmark.'

Paul J Kettle Jr added: 'I am disturbed to hear that you have removed the long-standing word "gay" from your ornament. Had you not taken the politically-motivated stance, nobody would have noticed or complained.

'Now, you have brought this to the fore you are attracting attention, mostly negative. I have used Hallmark exclusively for cards over many years, but I am thinking now of migrating to another brand.'

Customer Thomas F Reynolds blasted the company: 'We just cut up our gold crown card we have had forever. Keep rewriting Christmas carols and you will end up filing for bankruptcy. Disgraceful!'

In a statement today, the company said: 'Hallmark created this year's Holiday Sweater ornament in the spirit of fun. When the lyrics to "Deck the Halls" were translated from Gaelic and published in English back in the 1800s, the word "gay" meant festive or merry.

Today it has multiple meanings, which we thought could leave our intent open to misinterpretation.

The trend of wearing festively decorated Christmas sweaters to parties is all about fun, and this ornament is intended to play into that, so the planning team decided to say what we meant: "fun."

'That's the spirit we intended and the spirit in which we hope ornament buyers will take it.'

This is why we should always fight to preserve the meanings of the words in our language, which is the language chosen by the Lord God to reveal His True Word, through the King James Bible.

The word gay is a striking example of what can happen to the world when we let the Devil's people take words for their own use. Most of these words have been taken by homosexuals, negroes and communists.

Others they have taken:

Liberals hate big government and believe the people should be in charge, not the government. Does that sound like anyone you have ever met who calls himself a liberal? No, they are homosexuals who have stolen another word.

A hoe used to be a gardening implement and a doe used to be a female deer. Now hoe ata doe means a prostitute is at the door. Negroes have stolen those words and pretty near anything else left laying about, for that matter.

There are many other examples. I suppose gay is the best example. Something should be done about this.

Does it not, then, make sense that we should take back the words that have been stolen from decent people? I'll start!

I FEEL GAY TODAY! I HAVE A HOE IN MY GARAGE! I SAW A DOE LEAPING ACROSS THE ROAD THIS MORNING!

Amen, Brother.

I can see one problem here. While it is good that in this song the obscene term gay has been changed to fun according the original happy meaning on gay, I hope there won't be general trend of replacing obscene terms of gay with positive words. Instead we should be realistic and use words like ugly, diseased, evil and unnatural when talking about gaysexuals.

As we are totally anti-racist forum, we should forgive to them people. Thieving is in nigra blood, so asking one not to steal would be like asking you and me not to breath. While these gaysexuals have made conscious choice of becoming a sexual pervert, so therefor they are stealing these words just out of spite.

It comes as no surprise that a nation is crying out to force the emblazonment of sodomite slogans on children, when they just reelected a Kenyan Voodoo priest to the highest office in the land.

No anus is safe.

The enablers who are crying the loudest for Hallmark to keep the "gay apparel" would no doubt expect us to change the term "gay clothing" in James 2:13 (KJV) to suit their agenda. The hypocrisy of unbelievers just staggers me. Well done Hallmark.

[Virginia Day Templeton]

The last thing Hallmark wants is for people to picture a yawning rectum or a fecally contaminated fist when they look at one of its products, yet those are exactly the sorts of images the word "gay" conjures up. They would be better off slapping a swastika on the ornament.

Might as well call it Deck the Halls with Sodomy for all anyone cares anymore. A fine way to celebrate the Birthday of the Baby Jesus - outrage.

I remember my old high school shop teacher speaking out against the then edict that he had to change the name "jig" saw to scroll saw. "Damn scrolls" he used to say, and if he were still alive today he would say "and now we have one of them in the White House".

I love it. Reminds me of a word the cops use: "stillars." Because even though you can't call them certain names anymore, they still are.

Christmas isn't about fun, it's about Jesus.

This is a step in the right direction, but they're still selling a rainbow-colored sweater. Sweaters are already teetering on the brink of sodomy, but when they make it rainbow-colored, that pushes it right over the edge. So I'm still not ending my boycott of Hallmark.
