So, if you type "frosties kid suicide" in google theres lots of speculation on various forums (but rather tellingly - no official news sites) about this kid.

Word on the grapevine is that he got bullied thus decided to top himself.

Will the frosties Kid please step forward and put an end to this madness??

/assumes this is internet bollocks, and would be more compasionate if he thought it was true.

I feel kind of bad now - I was having murderous fantasies about that kid the other night.

Anyone else assume that advert was that kid's way of telling his parents that he's gay?

I'd heard a rumour the kid got stabbed... dunno if this was before or after *the advert* though.
Plus it was only a rumour so probably bullshit.

Reminds me of an episode of Old Harry's Game.

Satan: I cleaned up the internet too.

Scumspawn: How did you manage that, my leige?

Satan: I put out a virus that destroyed all the bollocks on the world wide web. Nighty eight percent of the internet disappeared overnight.

There are two versions, one he killed himself, and the other is that he was terminally ill.

Is it even certain he's dead?

Of course you realise that was intentional, yes?

It's pretty hard to mistype Kario Mart, you know.

Perhaps the question should become 'Why hasn't the Frosties kid commited suicide?'

The answer of course, is that God has tasked me with his slaying, and stays the Reaper's hand till I can get to South Africa, where I believe he is alive and well.

That advert is, without doubt, the worst ever created by mankind.

That might be hilarious if I could actually make out what the fuck they were singing.

They added a few "fuck"s and "fucking"s.

Adding profanities to a really annoying ad does not make a funny video.

Deleted user 4 July 2006 22:01:10

Especially when they're hideously out of sync with a shite mic.

"Pirate" doesn't rhyme with "great" though.

You can only get so many rhymes from the song writers for �50 before they start making up words.

You could buy a rhyming dictionary for a tenner.
