Long-Forgotten Holiday Specials #4

Frosty the Businessman
First Broadcast: December 20, 2005
Everybody’s favorite gelid jolly man returns yet again, this time in search of regular employment and a credit history. Thanks to the impressive networking skills of the now-grown and successful venture capitalist Karen from the first cartoon, Frosty is soon up to his eyeballs in mind-numbing hedge fund activism, corporate raiding, “poison pill” boardroom defenses and SEC inquiries, all culminating in an exhaustively detailed proxy fight set to the catchy holiday ditty “ValueAct Capital LP vs. Acxiom Corp.” While parents may find themselves at a loss to explain the mechanics of “chastity loans” and “standstill agreements” to their thoroughly dumbfounded children, working adults everywhere will no doubt will be tapping their toes to a percussive score that perfectly captures Frosty’s celebrated joie de vivre slowly being drummed out of existence by the relentless beat of corporate life.
