God love CBS. I mean, really, pick the metaphysical deity of your choice, pick a sacramental pose, and give CBS all the thanks in the world for these videos…
YES! CBS! The same company that went into a hizzy fit about this nipple slip during the 2004 Super Bowl…
Remember “the” nipple slip. From the “Wardrobe Malfunction” – those types of mishaps that occur when you reach around, grab, pull, and remove a piece of garment that exposes a breast. It was this type of television that was allegedly offensive to American audiences and resulted in huge fines levied, apologies aplenty confessed during national press conferences, and the revving of news cycles for months.
This same network which thought a moment’s exposure was unthinkable has now endorsed the desecration of one of America’s most sacred holiday symbols: Frosty the Snowman.
Unless y’all thought Frosty…
- has a porn collection
- a great bullwhip
- has a rash, WHERE????
Somewhere, Janet Jackson has to be thinking, “My breasts are more offensive than THAT?”
Someone give that lady her money back.
C-Ho Corporate Mesothelioma Rating: 7 out of 10
What does C-Ho think? We…LOVE IT! Finally, the Big 3 (or 4) have finally paid the piper.
How does CBS explain it away?
“The target audience for these TV shows is different than for the Super Bowl.”
Yeah, I’d bite on that but for 3 things:
- Kids probably are up when the ads air.
- Kids probably will roll back the TiVo when they see their favorite snowman, while having no clue what they’re in for.
- Oh, look what’s making page 1 for both a Google & YouTube searches for “Frosty”
It’s amazing how this Search Engine search sh*t works. Like it was planned!
And Once Pandora’s Box Is Open…
Once prime time TV slips into risque viral ads, Pandora’s box is open. What’s good for the goose will be f*ckin’ b*lls-*ss sweet for the gander. CBS has now lost all leverage to say what can and can’t be used on TV, up to Dirty Frosty.
You know the one really getting screwed out of this is Wendys. Whose ever gonna be able to order their ice cream treats the same way again?
New times, new presidents, new levels of decency. What’s next?
