Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman - Funny or just wrong?

[elrohwen]

Has anyone seen Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman? Apparently CBS put this together as an ad for their shows "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men" and aired it on their website (not on tv). I think it''s pretty darn funny, but apparently a lot of people are up at arms about it.

So PSers, what''s your opinion? Funny or over the line?

I thought they were kinda funny. I don''t watch 2 and a Half Men, so I probably didn''t get any inside jokes.

I think since they were only broadcast on the internet, it''s no big deal. There are A LOT more offensive things you can see on the internet.

TG, I would agree! Are parents worried about their kids looking up Frosty and finding this? There are plenty of worse things those kids are probably also searching for ... Heck, South Park or something is just as bad and far more accessible. I was surprised at how big the reaction was (though part of me is suspicious that Fox News is only broadcasting the heck out if it in an effort to hurt their rival CBS).

I see 2 and a half men so I know all of the inside jokes.

I''m glad they aired it on their website and not on TV. I''m a prude in that I don''t like when "innocent" things are turned into something non-innocent but it isn''t worth all of the attention its getting.

As for the kids finding it, well there are a lot of networks that have a "kids" website like ABC Kids or PBS Kids. I don''t know if CBS would have one but if they did I would think the kids couldn''t link back to the regular website (although I wouldn''t be surprised if they could since its more advertisement for their shows)

LOL some people are up in arms about everything! I don''t watch that show, but that''s pretty funny.

Charlie''s lines coming out of
Frosty''s mouth seem wrong.
I like both but not together.

I''m okay with it - good grief, there are better things to worry about. I can''t imagine being so bored I would write CBS about it lol

I thought it was a little funny, and wasn''t offended by it.

Ditto. Who cares? People just love to be offended and up in arms.
