There is a really annoying advert doing the rounds here in sunny 'ol England at the moment.  It's for Kellogs Frosties.  It has a jingle that is so annoying that you can't help but sing it.  It only takes seeing the advert once, and you are hooked trust me.  They are going to taste greeeeeeeeeeat!  Here's the link for you brave souls that are into self abuse Link.  I have to say I find this kid, and the advert extremely annoying.  I was at my sisters the other day, and she asked me about the advert, and if I knew it, which just made me rant about how much I hated it.  She interrupted me, and informed me the boy from this advert was dead, he had commited suicide because he had got bullied at school about the advert.  I felt awful!  Luckily I wasn't fully convinced.  I mean if such a thing had happened, surely the advert would be pulled, right?  So as usual who did I turn too?  You got it, google!

I found the Urban Legends page, and yes, this is simply another one that is doing the rounds *sigh*.  There is also a rumour that the boy isn't real at all! 

"In a secondary form of the legend, a grieving father who had lost his son to cancer succeeded, via the magic of technology, in having his deceased child inserted into the ad as a final tribute to the boy (possibly because it was the lad's dying wish). Here the youngster's flatness of tone was, by implication, explained by the rumor: the oddly-sung jingle was the result of its having been pieced together after the boy's death from recordings made of him during his brief lifetime. "

Strange, very strange indeed.  So Kellogs were contacted and this is what they had to say;

As no one knows the name of the boy, and Kellogs won't release it, I guess we will just have to take their word for it.  I very much doubt they would lie.  It's strange just how easily rumours can be started!
