Another sign of the end times…

12/09/2009

CBS is disgusting for allowing this trash to go on air. I am sure there will be a lot of heat on the network after more and more people get a chance to watch this. This mash up was aired as a commercial for the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother”.

I am very pissed that CBS chose to pervert a classic children’s cartoon. But even through their flabberghasting actions, I have learned something. As tv viewers we are subjected to vulgarity at it’s most high almost every minute while tuned in. We are fed inappropriate messages  both subliminally and outright. I think we do not notice because we are adults and we are accustomed to a more mature subject matter. But put those conversations over a children’s cartoon and the context becomes quite clear for what it really is. It’s not only disturbing that Frosty is now talking about porn collections and alluding to pedophilia in the video, the pure subject of the “How I Met Your Mother” scene is offensive and filthy. Having been heard and seen through the mouths of the actual actors, I will go ahead and say a man joking about porn and lethal injection would probably have not even raised an eyebrow.

Watching this video has been a tool for me to really think about what I hear on tv and thinking about if I am really hearing what actors are saying. I am not a prude and am definitely not adverse to being offensive, but there is a time, place, and situation for all things. I fear for our society when there are no limits to how far the line can be pushed. With the media continuing to  overstep boundaries like this, decency will soon be an archaic virtue.
