Isn't rubbing peanut butter into it supposed to help? The oil in the peanuts will break down the gum.

dangerous suggestion removed, do this in after hours if you want, a bit of humour is appreciated but not something as patently stupid as this.

Ice cube it and it will come off easily enough if its a flat carpet. If its a deep carpet its a bit of a disaster and time for a nice footstool to appear.
