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

Haha I'm a total numpty.
Spent a couple minutes pausing the ad, at the start, to see if it was a freewheel or a fixed cog, only to let it play and watch her freewheel for the rest of the ad. tit!

would you enjoy trying to sell sunny delight to children? or mcdonalds?

not everyone in advertising are cunts, you could work for charities or on governmental projects, but some of the commercial stuff isn't nice.

ps. that advert is dreadful, her voice sounds awful (usually doesn't imo).

yep, thought that too....

Duffy is clearly a loser. It appears that she is not important enough for her flunkies to get diet coke for her.

Diet Coke - the choice of unimportant shit Welsh singers......

Now this is an advert....

I didn't know until tonight who Duffy was so sorry for being such a late comer in this thread.

But the photo!! FFS, a woman cycling in a supermaket! Why?? It looks like a 1950s Housekeeping ad. Can someone pinch me and tell me we are in 2009. After the Virgin Atlantic ad "hello gentlemen you can pinch our arses if you fly upper class"...

Now I watched the ad, oh god. Did someone say she had a good voice? She reminded me of my grandmother singing but drunk. Why did she go into the supermarket singing "I want to be meeeeee"?

:D

agghhh just saw the ad,
Anyone want to buy some track bikes?
if it wasn't bad enough i have to go through warrick avenue everytime i decided to take the tube

The bit at 45 secs is fucking brilliant.

My housemate has a real thing for her, I can't see it.

All the bits on he her face are in the wrong place

Cathryn Sleight, marketing director at Coca-Cola Great Britain, says Diet Coke has always “celebrated women” and that Duffy “perfectly embodies the independent attitude we’re championing”.

New spoke card Vee Vee?

yeah send it to Duffy.

*That's why advertising is crap; the idea that by buying a soft drink you buy some kind of character trait or attitude and that the mendacious slags who come up with this are actually 'celebrating' women. What do these paid liars know of the working conditions of women in Coca cola bottling plants? And what do they care as long as their own nests continue to be lined by inflicting this vacuous piffle on the world?

+1

Which is trite and lazy but I can only agree with both WW and VV.

How could a company with billions of dollars at their disposal create such a piece of shit advert?

Just saw the ad. Some wobble on that front end - steering fail, to mention just one fault.

I've not drunk any coke today but I have eaten a fair share of humble pie. The morning after the night before....

Did you bump into that truck driver again?

Now that pie has come back up again.

It's not normally the advertising creatives who come up with shit like that. Blame that on the marketing idiots who reel of endless spiel about ABC1 target audiences.

this is HTFU juice. 95% alcohol, Everclear

only legal in the states ftw

That's the thing I'd normally lay the blame at Mother's door for 'creating' the advert but I don't know what the brief entailed. You can bet Coca-Cola plonked "must feature Duffy" on the brief and Mother thought "fuck this" and stuck her on what they know best 'hip fixie bikes'.
