UK Kellog ad gets cult rep - Frosties kid not dead.

For those who haven't seen the tremendously annoying Kellogg's ad with the blond kid singing in it, you can view it here. Kid jumps out of bed singing; “They’re gonna taste great/I can hear the sound of Frosties hitting my plate.”

Thanks to Joel a member of lowculture we know how David Whitehouse of the Guardian feels about this, full excerpt posted here in their forums.

And what we're left with is a jingle being sung by a boy at the exact moment his voice breaks, in a tone so monotonous it appears to be operating at a frequency which [sic] toys with people's bowels. It is, quite simply, the worst soundtrack to an advertisement ever.

Lets not forget, with the worst rhymes too, check out "pirate" rhyming with "great". *shudder*

The Museum of Hoaxes has looked into rumor about the Frosties kid being dead.

He's not as Kellogg's has stated "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."
