Not-dead Frosties kid finally speaks up In July, we wrote about the child actor from an annoying U.K. Frosties cereal ad who was rumored to have died, possibly by suicide, or possibly at the hands of bullies who didn’t appreciate his boundless energy and glee in the commercial. The rumor turned out to be false, but at the time, the kid didn’t speak to the media. Now he has, in a Sun story with the chilling headline, “Cereal killers after Frosties Kid.” The South African actor, referred to only as “Sven,” is clearly upset that people hate his performance so much. “I had a look on the Net and was so surprised,” he says. “Why would people want to humiliate someone they don’t even know? It’s not who I really am. I was given a character to portray, and that’s what I did. One person said you should blame the director, or the scriptwriter. I liked that comment. I’m not going to go out and stab myself or commit suicide because of things people are saying.” For the record, he says making the ad was as painful as watching it. “It was so irritating hearing the jingle over and over,” he says. “After five days I was going up the wall. But I switched off how I felt about it and got on with how the director was asking me to portray the character. I did that to the best of my ability.” The story may have a happy ending. According to the Sun, “Sven has defied his bitter cyber-critics — by focusing on carving out a career as a gymnast.” —Posted by Tim Nudd

Love Too See You Have The Balls To Do Something Like That When All You Seem To Have Time For Is slandering young children over an interactive forum.. I mean seriously guys please stop the argumentative stuff it is real childish and petty.. i mean seeing you guys threatening over an Internet page is more annoying than the advert.. so please behave yourselves and shush :)

I took the DNA test and it come up on the digital screen "you are frosties kids dad" i cried, at first, becuase, well, come on, look at you. but it soon sunk it as to how unlucky i am. so, i am coming to africa to retrieve you as your mum clearly doesnt want you any more, you can come back to britain, but we may need to keep you locked in the house at all times due to the whole country hating you and your face. so, im Mr. Gerald Frostie, and i cant wait to meet me son, Sven Frostie.

P.s there gonna taste great

i am glad frosties has had such an impact on this familys life, he was a little bitch, but he sold the frosties well. for a week. he liked it when i took him into my frostie palace, and placed him on my stove, where i then taught him how to.... cook a frostie. he couldnt be more thankful.i still text the little bitch (he knows im kidding, that was his pet name) and make sure hes still in the slavery business and he is. to his mum, you saggy pathetic sack of shit, how could you let him down like that? your his mum you shrivelled shrew. and to his newly-found dad, you are so lucky, would you be willing to sell? if so, how about £300 including furniture. get back to me on 08934 765 598 and we can arange travel expences. thank you for finding out. if you do happen to get in touch with him, tell him ile always have a place for him in my anus.

p.s the little bitch tastes great.

I am here to update the regular visitors of this page. My son has now contracted AIDS. I told him to stop going to the goat herd late at night - DO NOT PANIC - he is getting treatment as he caught it early.

Apart from that we are living it up in Afriza. So sick.

His mum apparenty was sectioned by the mental health act because she missed him, so i told my son to rub it in a little and send her a post card saying "wish u were here Hairy bitch"

We havnt heard back though? Hope she dont mind - cranky slut.

Hope your all well, we are! (despite AIDS)
Love from Mr Gerald Frostie x
