Percy Pigs (contains actual pig)Thu 26 Feb 2009 at 23:11
Percy Pigs are popular the world over, with many celebrities claiming to be fans of the sweet, many demanding Percy be on their rider. Even UK based YouTube star "Charlie is so Cool Like" admits to loving the piggy treats.
Percy Pigs are available at all good Marks & Spencer stores through out the UK. Percy Pigs are they incredibly detailed, very realistic and lifelike - it's hard to tell the difference between Percy Pigs and actual pigs.
The secret behind their intensely pig-like appearance could be down to the fact that they contain actual pig. Don't believe me? Check the ingredients, item number three on the list is "pork gelatine" which is extracted directly from actual living or dead pigs.
As if that wasn't enough reason to love Percy Pigs, they also help towards your five a day! They contain real life apple and orange juice extracted from genuine apples and oranges. Being made of 3.5% fruit juice means that a 100g packet of Percy Pig makes up 1 fifth of one of your daily portions.

Who Is Dax FlameMon 10 Sep 2007 at 15:09
Dax Flame is a 15 year old American guy who makes videos in his bedroom, he dresses in a very odd fashion, he always wears his famous very short shorts with the strange combination of an odd coloured shirt and a tweed suite jacket.
Dax is famous for strange videos in which he fidgets and jumps around on his chair, has covered his face in sticky tape before riping it off on camera and likes to help people learn as his spreads his unique views on the world.
Genius or Psycho?
Dax intrigues me, he is so odd, very very entertaining and funny but surely he is too odd to be real, no real 15 year old was dress as Dax does, no 15 year old would talk the way he does and cry on camera? ...would they?
If Dax Flame is an actor then he is a great actor, he NEVER comes out of character, all of his vlogs are very well planned, and revolve around an interesting, well thought out story. I've been watching Dax's videos for some months now and wondering, I've watched them over and over again, if he is acting the he is faultless - he is a genius!
I have read in several comments on Dax's videos that he is in fact an actor by the name of Madison Patrello, a girl? Hmmm... may be it can be a guy's name too? It would appear that this rumour originates from the fact that the domain name daxflame.com was registered by Jeff Patrello.
There is also a girl named Dylan Patrello who has a channel on YouTube and her house looks identical to scenes shot in Dax's house. So one would assume that Dylan and Madison (Dax) are brother and sister and as Dax is 15 and doesn't have a credit card that his Dad (Jeff) purchased the domain name for his son.
Where does the name Madison come from? Do a Google search from Jeff and Dylan Patrello and you find an obituary for Dax's Grandfather, this reveals a few other names of members of the family do another quick search and you find some photos of Dax by the name of Madison Patrello.
An Actor?
OK, so Dax lied about his name, he is in fact Madison not Bernice, this makes me pretty sure that he is acting. The couple of things which really seal the deal for me is that in Dax's "motion picture" videos such as 'Marriage of the Kidnap!' and 'Kisses are Forever' and in LisaNova's video 'LisaNova Does YouTube' which Dax appears in, he is required to act and when he is acting his character is identical to Dax's character.
Obviously the parents of Dax know what he gets up to, they bought him the domain name, would they let him show himself up on YouTube if he were really that odd?
According to one YouTube user, Sigafoo who has researched the Dax Flame story a lot, the family of Dax have got upset about details of their family being plastered all over YouTube including the families home address, which clearly is wrong. Apparently the family have threatened legal action and YouTube have removed these video.
All the information I have quote here is in the public domain and I hope I haven't crossed the line and said anything that would upset Dax's family, if I have, there is always the edit button, please let me know.
As for Dax, Bernice, Madison... an actor? ...whatever, he is a great entertainer and is currently my favourite maker of fine video entertainment on YouTube.
Lazy Dork: The AnswersMon 27 Aug 2007 at 01:19
In September 2006 Ricky quit his job as a Miami-Dade prosecutor in order to move to Las Vegas to become a professional poker player, Ricky also said that he was going to use his free time to produce more YouTube videos.
One rumour circulating is the LazyDork has quite YouTube in order to find himself a job, an insider says that Ricky plans to move back to Miami and worries that his zany videos may put off potential employers.
The official line however, is that Ricky isn't happy with the direction that YouTube has chosen to take, in his most recent (and it would seem final) "Radio Hour" podcast available from LazyDork.com Ricky makes the following statement:
"Let me tell you something, YouTube is now, on their front page, featuring only professional videos, that's it. If you're not a band and if you're not a professional video maker you're not going to get any attention on the site. Well this is why I quit, YouTube is for professionals and not me."
So mystery solved, if only we could change his mind.
MISSING: The King of YouTubeWed 08 Aug 2007 at 01:23
In my opinion though, the undisputed king of high-quality video making is Lazy Dork... in fact I should say the undisputed king of YouTube was Lazy Dork.
Lazy Dork AKA Rick specialized in parodies, spoofs and songs which were all brilliant, some of the best content on the site, he was sometimes slightly controversial and challenged YouTube, it's users and the community over matter which he didn't agree with and I would imagine that one of these disputes is the reason why Rick is no longer making YouTube videos.
To make things worse Rick has also set all of his back-log of videos to private meaning that they can no longer be viewed on the site. I think Lazy Dork is a massive loss to the site, his videos were positive, entertaining and well planned and produced.
I hope at some point soon Rick can put his differences a side and think of his fans and come back with some great videos to entertain us as only he can.
