The World's Most Pathetic Snowmen

These sad snowmen won't be giving Frosty a run for his money

    Most snowmen are born of great intentions and outfitted accordingly: giant round balls of clean, white snow, black coal pieces for eyes and buttons and, of course, a jaunty carrot nose and cheerful grin.

    Grab some Kleenex and click through to see the world's 30 most pathetic snowmen.

They aren't bad. Ours are no better, and often worse! It isn't all that easy to make the picture perfect one you see on tv! Besides, our dogs eat the carrot noses right off!
