To promo the showing of the classic children's cartoon, CBS took clips and dubbed in references to porn, woman's breasts, sexual references, and a few other crass jokes I didn't even get. I'd say enjoy. But you won't.
Yes, they aired yet. Were they high at the time? I wish. But I doubt it. They did this fully sober.
Why? Because they did it again.
Rachel Skylar at Mediaite had a few words.
Wow. What an age we live in. On one network, Adam Lambert is banned for being lewd and lascivious; on another, “Frosty the Snowman” is celebrated for it. Yes that’s right: CBS has taken that favorite holiday classic and defiled it with porn, boobs and a pretty clear reference to crabs.As a promo for Frosty, airing on Dec. 18th, CBS has recut scenes from the animated favorite into two videos, one with audio from the crass, womanizing Barney from “How I Met Your Mother” and the other from the crass, womanizing Charlie from “Two and a Half Men.” As a result, the videos — while awesomely featuring Mediaite fan fave Neil Patrick Harris (as well as the voice of Charlie Sheen) — trade off a pretty funny result for grownups with a pretty sacriligious result for kids. Who, by the way, presumably know how to Google, and thus an innocent search for “Frosty The Snowman CBS” would lead to multiple page one results for Frosty the Promiscuous Potty-Mouth.
Nice one CBS. Take a children's classic and smear it with filth. You better be glad Santa isn't real. God, however, is.
It isn't hard to find lack of talent. Just follow crudeness. It's the last card played before complete loss of ability. In other words, they are obviously inept. This year for Christmas, CBS network execs got themselves on the irrelevant list.
GIVE ME BACK MY CHILDHOOD, CBS! I will never look at Frosty the same way again.Or CBS.

Not a huge Santa fan, to be sure, so FtS never really mattered to me. However, I DO see the significance in this article.
Is nothing off-limits to being perverted for a couple chuckles?
That was rhetorical. Of course nothing is off-limits.
No witty remarks on this one.
