What was said
"The account that uploaded it on day one. That account was called Renaissance Men. And Renaissance Men belonged to someone we knew. It belonged to Raymond Percy. The proof was on the Wayback Machine. A 2008 snapshot of the Renaissance Men homepage included a link to a Ray Ray MySpace page, and the username displayed on that page was Raymond Percy."
Raymond Percy, an Emmy-winning Simpsons director, claimed the disturbing 2005 Freaky Soup Guy video was made using his stolen Ray Ray costumes. However, internet investigators discovered Percy himself uploaded the video through his own YouTube account, along with at least one sequel titled Soup Torture, all written from the character's perspective. Percy never reported the alleged theft to police and ran multiple Ray Ray branded websites while claiming ignorance that his upload had gone viral with millions of views.
