frosty-snowman Today marks the 40th anniversary of beloved holiday icon "Frosty the Snowman" and possibly his most popular birthday party yet.

Last week, we covered the controversy surrounding the "Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman" parody that CBS released online: Parents took major issue with the mashup that had the jolly character referencing strippers and pornography.

While we had no problem with Frosty telling a few dirty jokes, we wanted to know what you thought of the snowman's improper language. As expected, y'all pulled through. We can always count on the Lemondrop comment section for a mix of solid arguments, rampant misspellings and extremist preaching. read on

Rosella says, "Any INDUSTRY or BUSINESS that PERVERTS GOD'S GIFTS to MANKIND with BLATANT DISREGARD for the harm it can cause to anyone is direct from the PIT of HELL. There are only TWO CAMPS in this world. GOD's and satan's. TRUTH or LIE. If your business will do anything to generate money including loosening MANKIND's MORALITY, then you need to be accursed. ... There is a difference between CLASS, ART and VULGARITY. I watched the CBS ad. It is below the CIVILIZED belt. As an advertiser, marketer, entrepreneur, writer, artist, teacher, film maker, I give it a THUMBS DOWN. If one is a real ENTREPRENEURIAL and ARTISTIC talent, you don't have to DUMB DOWN AMERICA to make money."

To which Jason responds: "Wow. I didn't realize Frosty was God's gift to mankind." Yeah. Us either.

Anyhow. Back to Frosty. We think.

Mark-Gregory wasn't feeling the demoralization of a Christmas classic. He says, "To abuse an original piece of American classic animation such as this is corporate vandalism, perpetrated by mediocre jack-offs whose only claim (as hack writers with less than a juvenile's mentality), is that they happen to be adults unfortunately on the production payroll. ... Our children, your children, are being exposed daily to harmful levels of foul language, images of murder, wanton sex, womanizing, drug abuse and alcohol abuse, the list goes on and on and the list is accepted as being socially OK."

Even if it the Frosty mashup was inappropriate, though, Jeromycraigt asks: "How many freaking children do you think were logging onto CBS's website in the first place? It must've been a shock to the under-10 set when they logged on to find out the latest stories from '60 Minutes' and found this instead."

Plus, as Carla points out, "They aren't doing anything different than ZILLIONS do on Youtube every DAY. (Scooby Doo quoting South Park? That's worse.) Besides, people should stop complaining, because it was strictly an internet campaign, and if your kids are too young to see it, then, they shouldn't BE on the internet without your permission/guidance anyhow."

The ultimate voice of reason comes from Julia: "I don't understand why the parents are getting all riled up, though. If you monitor your children online, I doubt they'll come across this and be mentally scarred and the whatnot. Lighten up a bit, wouldn't you? Your kids are pretty much safe from this if you're parenting correctly."

Tell us! What'd you think of CBS's Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman? Hilarious? Unsuitable for internet audiences?
