Even though there have been numerous complaints from the public, the Advertising Standards Authority has decided that you can show frog cock on British TV.

Despite complaints from 60 people, Britain's advertising regulators said on Wednesday there is nothing inappropriate about the genitals of an animated frog whose high-pitched squeals are sold as a mobile phone ringtone.

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.

"While unusual for an animated model of this type to be shown with genitalia, no sexual or inappropriate references were made about its anatomy," the UK's Advertising Standards Authority said.

The Crazy Frog ringtone advert is probably the most hated thing in Britain at the moment, and 22 of those 60 complaints were from people that simply found the advert fucking irritating. Five parents were also annoyed at being left red-faced after their kids quizzed them on what was going on in the frog's nether-regions.

Even more irritating is the fact that the noise the 'crazy' frog produces has already travelled the globe in emails for 8 years, and you have this bastard to thank for it.

It was Daniel who, as a 17-year-old in 1997, sat down in front of his computer and recorded himself imitating his friends' souped-up mopeds. Although he didn't know it at the time, his funny little recording would one day become the Crazy Frog.

[...]

Before long, an acquaintance of Daniel's had posted the recording on the web, where a researcher on Swedish TV found it and persuaded Daniel to perform the sound live on television.

From there, it was used on various websites, particularly on one called the Insanity Test, which had the sound playing alongside a picture of a racing car, with the challenge for people to listen without laughing.

In 2003, Daniel's fellow Swede, Erik Wernquist, drew the now familiar animated frog to go with the sound, christened it The Annoying Thing, and put it on his website for download.

Anyone yet to be subjected to the despicable creation can subject themselves to it here.

I hate parents like this...parents, who when their children see genitals and ask questions, are too fucking stupid or prudish to simply say "I suspect that's it's penis...what boy frogs pee out of." You don't even have to touch the sexual elements of it if you feel they're too young for that...children old enough to ask questions should be old enough to know about going to the bathroom. It's the simplest thing in the world to explain but uptight dumbfucks always flub it up because they are grown adults that can't handle the existance of genitalia besides their own. Grow the fuck up.

most frightening is the company is said to have made £14 million (about $22 million) from this frog.
