Apparently in Britain, cartoon frogs are allowed to have genitals – assuming of course they don’t refer to them in a sexual manner.  This is obviously a great triumph for free speech in Britain and I’m sure the mobile phone ringtones the frog advertises would have been devastated if the frog had been void of genitalia.

It is however somewhat concerning that:

Five parents said they were embarrassed by questions their children had asked.

It’s a shame to see 5 parents messing up that learning opportunity for their children.  Perhaps in the future the birds and the bees will be explained using (apparently not particularly well endowed) frogs instead.

Television adverts of the motorcycle-riding Crazy Frog, who is drawn with a broad smile and a tiny penis, run frequently on British television, amusing, baffling and annoying viewers.

I’m sure the frog wasn’t so excited about being represented with such a small pecker either.

Either way, frogs throughout the british empire are breathing a sigh of relief tonight and uncrossing their legs.
