CBS' 'Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman' Ad Riles Critics
The video ad, "Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman," takes authentic dialogue from CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men" and dubs it on top of the cartoon classic, changing well-known "Frosty" scenes to contain suggestions that the snowman and his friends visit a "strip club."

It does make one think "How Low Can You Go!". Sorry but some icons that children love need to be left for children. What's next an audio over of Christ in the manger asking every one down to the local barn for a night cap?
I think the idea behind this stunt is shock value. They want to give adults something to remember and already we all are associating Frosty with two cheap sitcoms. Gimme a break! Leave the kiddie show alone and make a real ad.
