CBS recently ran a perverted Frosty the Snowman cartoon, said "a combination of the raunchy television show "How I Met Your Mother" with the children's holiday classics "Frosty the Snowman".'
Now, I went to college on an athletic scholarship and spent a lot of time around athletes. I can swear with the best of them. I watched a clip from this video, and I can see a couple of guys in a locker room making this up and laughing hysterically.
What I can't see, is this on network television.
The Crude snowman encouraged awhite rabbit in the movie to have sexual fantasies: "You should have hit that. Dude, your pants were already off. You had a classroom full of people to cheer you on. And you can't knock her up because it's a dream."
And it's not all sexual locker room humor. He also rejoices in "scoring front row seats to a lethal injection."
As I said, I can't claim I would laugh at some of this in a locker room, but on network TV? What are you people thinking? Do you have no boundaries?
What's next?

Help me understand. You've got your panties all up in a bunch because the PC-police are out to eliminate your beloved Christmas from the vernacular and have gone so far as to create a whole blog about it.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, you see something on TV YOU find politically incorrect and you become shocked and alarmed?
There's an easy fix -- change the channel. I'd recommend you get one of them "new-school" televisions. They show programs in color and have more than 13 channels. Most of 'em come with remote control doohickeys that allow you find more suitable programming without having to climb up out of your rocker to "turn the dial."
The TV can even record your favorite shows now. May I suggest you record "It's a Wonderful Life" so you can switch to it whenever you see something too racy for you or you come across a show where someone is wished a Happy Holidays.
Hmmm. I think I'll record Miracle on 34th Street instead!
ReplyDeleteActually, I didn't see the snowman on TV...I saw a clip on this new Internet thing.
So what you're saying is that it's OK for a Children's cartoon to be warped into a 14-year-old's ideas in a locker room, but it's not OK for a company to say "Merry Christmas" in their ad.
That is scary.
I'm fine if a company wants to say "Merry Christmas" in an ad. I'm equally fine if they don't. It is a non-issue. Getting upset over either choice is silly.
