Kermit rolls a joint in joke email

Source :- Ananova.com

An animated clip of Kermit the Frog rolling a cannabis joint is being circulated by email in Chile.

The clip shows Kermit teaching new cannabis users how to roll a joint, reports Las Ultimas Noticias online.

The email is believed to have been created as a joke but advertiser Paula Rojas says it could damage the image of the children's character.

She said: "I have seen many characters being used in a improper way but it is the first time I've seen a children's character being used to promote drugs.

"That is serious. And unfortunately there is nothing anyone can do to stop it."

A spokesman for Disney Chile, who hold the rights to the frog's image in Chile, said: "Kermit is one of the most famous characters we have, it is not a surprise to us that his image is being used in such way."

I'm guessing she's never heard of Smokèmon.

But seriously, what the funk?

EDIT: I would like everyone to know that putting letter W, the letter T and the letter F togher in an abreviation is no allowed.

Yeah she can't have picked up on Bert smoking a joint on the old 'Bert Is Evil' websites either.

Interesting thing i thought is that Disney seem to have the character licence for the Muppets in Chile. Never knew that !

Of course, Pokemon deserved it...


Isn't it funny how the doll looks similar to the doll used for the German McD's commercial?
