There has been many stories and rumoured that the annoying kid from the frosties advert has killed himslef. He was being multiply bullied about he role in the frosties advert. It has also been posted on DS. So i was just wondering if anyone else has heard this or was it just me??
Mind you that kid is so annoying:angry:

Mabye you missed it on the news and they might not have said it incase they upset anyone. It's probably just a rumour but i just wondered if anyone knew if it was actually true.

I have just found this, so would say the rumour is untrue:

The Frosties Kid Is Dead
Status: Urban Legend......

And this dislike has inspired a rumor that the kid in the ad is dead. (Google 'Frosties Kid' and you pull up page after page of rumors of his death.) There are two versions of the rumor:

1) That the kid committed suicide on account of the bullying he received since the ad aired.
2) That the kid was a cancer patient whose dying wish was to star in a Frosties ad.

....Scott Mills of BBC Radio 1 recently discussed the 'Frosties Kid Is Dead' rumor on his show. Mills received the following official statement from Kelloggs about the rumor:
"The current advertisement has been well received by the vast majority of our customers. We would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that the lead boy within the advertisement is well and continues to live in his native South Africa."

I don't mind it, and it's aimed at kids and i'm sure they like it.

I can think of main advert's worse than this one.

Those were to two stories I heard and everyone else at school heard!! We were all sorry for the boy and was worried but glad to find out he was still alive :D

EDIT: Oh my god I haven't laughed this much all week!! The 1st 2nd and 4th video don't work.. invalid URL. But the 3rd one is and that's going in my fav's :rotfl: That's classic and I love the music which goes with it!! :cheer:

If the kid was dead then I think they would have pulled the ad off air, and it would be in at least one of the tabloids.

Also if it is the tune is getting to folk, and sticking in your head, its doing its job!!! I think its an annoying advert, but hey Im not 10 years old! lol
