I was trying to think of a word to desribe this kid, but after much thinking I realise use of the 'c' word might result in removal from this forum.

This is would I'm talking about.

The poll question. Should the boy or not...

:arrow: He can't sing
:arrow: He certainly cannot dance (WTF is that little jig at the end of the ad meant to be?!?!!)
:arrow: Crap lyrics
:arrow: Crap tune
:arrow: Kelloggs have pulled a masterstroke of genius by creating an advert which everyone is talking about. I'm sure that it was their intention. If it wasn't, then the evaporation of credibility that kid once had has all been in vain. I doubt he will ever get to have sex...ever. They should have cast James Martin, because it wouldn't have mattered then.

Row, you can call him a cunt if you like. I'm not that fussed.

I have to say that I don't think the ad is as bad as all that. I'm puzzled as to how he steps onto the platform at the end of the ad. He *must* be connected by a safety harness, or they wouldnt be allowed to do it.

I'm asuming someone is crouched out of shot to do it.

The voice probably isn't his. Its probably redubbed. As for his dance, well there's only so much he can do when he's standing on a crane platform.

I don't like him much, but then stage school kids tend to be quite precocious.

Well you've ruined the illusion there, Gavin. I preferred to think he could hover.

I'm all about that, me.

I'm a bit of a nightmare to watch effects laden movies with, as I'll give a director stylee commentary on how they did it. :?

notice how they've changed the line "I can hear the sound of Frosties hittin' me plate" to that big tiger singing "everybody knows Frosties taste grreat".

Funny thing that was going round on myspace.com the other week

THE FROSTIES ADVERT NEEDS TO BE BANNED!
Okay.


Wtf is it on about.

Lets comment on the lyrics shall we;

"There gunna taste great..." - Well for one, there not. There blatantly just corn flakes with sugar on top, which isnt that "great".

"I can hear the sound of Frosties hittin' me plate" - Since when did you eat cerial off a plate?
Ey?
Never.

"Or a pire-ate.." - What the FUCK is a pire-ate. Seriously, learn to speak.

"If you live in OZ, mate, or the Empire State.." - You cant live in the Empire State. Its not a place. Its a building. Idiot.


And also at the end..


I realy would like to know who the hell gathers in crowds of hundreds and marches down the streets for a plate of Frosties every morning.

And why does the gay boy that sings all this shit start to float away?

God its annoying.


he starts floating..i mean wtf????

then at the very end he like... does really annoying hand gestures!!! as if he was rapping! dickhead!

Let's ask Wikipedia:
Empire State may mean:
* Nickname for the State of New York, United States
* Empire State Building, in New York City
* Empire State VI, a ship owned by the State University of New York Maritime College

god no. apart from when we mucked around with the (late) metropol page.

wikipedia is useful I find, however it's run by a bunch of freaks. It needs a wholesale "reboot" and considerable policy changes to truely attempt to bring it up to something that could be called quality.
