Oh no... Duffy gets on her bike in Diet Coke spot

And estate Agents. Don't forget those

I love Duffy.

Nothing wrong with city types.. besides it's pointless killing 'em unless you first get their account numbers and access codes.

Think of the childrenmoney!!!

she's riding a bicycle. bicycles have been around for years, why are we worried about advertisers co-opting 'our' trend? it's not a trend, it's a bike. it's also not ours!

i'm sure car fans don't get pissed off when pop starlets drive cars in ads.

You should probably re-read the thread.

why? to join in a rant about advertising being the root of all evil?

Duffy made some of the coolest albums of the 1990s.

If you want, I'm just saying that no where in the thread has anyone been precious about cycling being used in advertising. It's been anti-advertising in general.

Don't know if it's fixed gear but given that it's Mother that created it, I'm guessing so

Mother fuckers

I'd rather see bicycles being used by well known people on the street rather than inserting it in advertising media thus further elevating as a pop cultural artifact with a finite timeline

err.... ;)

what sparked the hatred for advertisers, if not the implied resentment of duffy on a bike? (i'm not one, btw).

Lets celebrate this shit!

Surely it means that the faddy fixed funkiness is close to reaching its zenith (or nadir, dependant on viewpoint). It'll all be over soon, in say, 5 years.

I loved the fact that Kylie Minogue advertised the Ford Streetka and Sophie Ellis Bextor advertised the MG TF.

did anyone got to the 14 bike co launch on valentines day? i'm annoyed it was advertised more/i didnt get an invite... my girl works across the road and didnt even tell me till she got to my place!

She's not a bad lookin bint, surf the net, songs not bad either. BUT best lookin gal on a bike got to be on http://www.fyxomatosis.com/gallery.php?gal=33

Nice. Face like a bag of spanners though.

People who work in advertising are cunts. Let's get ourselves a mob together and go after them!

I enjoy it thanks, on the whole it's been good fun over the last 15 years :-)

The people I really don't envy are Client Services (account handlers if you like), they have a fucking hard job pandering to, sometimes, completely unreasonable clients. Creatives tend to be a decent bunch as a rule. Sure there's loads of bullshit in the industry but then that's true of any industry.

ha! so-called 'creatives'. always the most boring, lacking in creativity , polo shirt wearing, idea stealing, arrogant cunty bastards. whenever i meet one and they say a word at me, i want to be sick at them.

Looks like Kate Lawler, ex Big Brother person.....

i want to be sick at them.

So instead you do nothing? Stop whinging!

that bike and that outfit is well confused.

If they wanted her to look like a stylish independent woman why not give her one of those fancy shopping bikes and a sophisticated outfit?

That outfit and that position make her look like a chubby 14 year old who went for a shopping spree in mark one.

Ha! Tell Fay Weldon and Salman Rushdie how lacking in originality they are, they both started out as advertising creatives.

suppose u are a photographer

They shouldve ripped the styling from Audrey Hepburn who was well dapper when out on her bike:

i dont know about duffy, i dont find her hot, and while her voice is good, her music leaves me completely flat. it feels at times like a cheap mans winehouse, but less crazy/sexy and easier to market as shes a good girl.

i also dislike diet coke. i like fat coke, but i dont see why anyone, even people who choose for health conscious reasons would choose to drink that shit. if you want healthy, dont fucking drink coke to begin with.

Diet coke is great for weight loss though. Not only does it not contain fattening sugar, it will also leach the calcum out of your bones.
