Crazy Frog Lets IT ALL Hang Out On Brit TV...
Published February 12, 2005
An anatomically correct cartoon frog, featured in a UK television commercial selling his high pitched squeal as a cell phone ring tone, faced possible castration after 22 people complained that their children might see the ad. Fortunately for "Crazy Frog", Britain's advertising regulators stated that "there is nothing inappropriate about the genitals of an animated frog". Uh huh....And what if said frog held hands with other male pond creatures?! I shudder to think...Come on now, let`s put on some SquarePants on that Crazy Frog!

I think all cartoon figures should be empowered with genitalia...
Who says they aren't?
We know from countless episodes that Goofy and Donald can be embarassed when their pants drop. One assumes that's not just because of backside exposure.
As for SpongeBob and Patrick, well, have you ever seen the gonads of a starfish? Let alone, a sponge...
not knowingly
LOL!!!
If you follow the link for the Crazy Frog downloads, you can preview the ring tones. I didn`t find this story HALF as funny, until I actually HEARD Crazy Frog!
There were actually 60 complaints made against the CF commercials...22 over the frog`s "extreme exposure", and 38 just plain couldn`t take having to listen to the endless TV ads anymore!
I suspect the same "parents" that are up tight about male genitalia probably think nothing about their children spending hours in front of blood soaked video games. The UK and the West in general does have a perverted sense of morality... :)

AFAIK, frogs do not have external genitalia.
I think that crazy frog is great,and i know a lot of people do, but when something like that comes along and takes the world so to speak, by storm, it does tend to get irritating, but hey who cares, the death of crazy frog is as funny as, and i think that there should be the chronicals of crazy frog... nah only joking, but annoying things are popular, and if it does annoy then don't get upset about, just ignore it, in ten to twenty years it will be a question in trivial pursuit... it's part of what makes the world go round... there are lots of things that annoy us or make us laugh, so good on ya daniel for imitating ya two stroke engine and havin a good laugh doin it... i have been with friends in that situation... never earnt as much out of it though
my auntie told me that there was a crazy frog thing called crazy frog getting killed. can anyone tell me if theres a website i can go on to listen to it????
