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

They are all branches on the same rotten tree.

dude, its all down to these loser cunts at the ad agencies, who never know crap about anything they sell or who they sell the crap to.

so they think about it and realise their audience for a "refreshing" drink must a younger, hip generation.

They just put out some surveys and find out that young people like Duffy, riding fixies (with a freewheel, daaaah stupid), hanging out in a car with their friends, going to concerts and most of teenagers work at a supermarket. So why not put all that shit together and surely something will appeal to one of those young bastards to buy our product.

result is the ad is crap, I like Duffy less, and hate those cunts more for advertising bikes as a fashion accessory.

the fact of the matter however is (and i know those cunts at the agency know this too), that it really doesnt matter how they show but the point is that the "cola" logo keeps on flashing in front of our eyes. And no matter how crap, useless the ads are all we really remeber from watching it is that it had "diet coke" in it.....thats your selling point ;)

cunt bastards, luckily i hate that thing. They should team up with jack daniels and i might start paying more attention.

this is HTFU juice. 95% alcohol, Everclear

only legal in the states ftw

*well,somebody likes her. the same people who thought Girls Aloud made the best single of the year.

It's always an arse to see your 'scene' commercialised like this. If you don't want to make the same mistake over and over I have a couple of suggestions for choosing your next big thing:

Is your 'scene' underground? Has it ever been? If it has, how the hell did you find out about it? If you first read about it in the 'culture' section of the Guardian, leave well alone.

Does it have close ties to inner-city life? In particular, does it have origins in a profession who interract daily with the media/ad agency/blah industry? If so, leave well alone.

Fixed wheel cycling is the the fucking 'Zeitgeist'. If you are in it for the long haul, don't worry about Duffy.

Accepting her British female award, Duffy said: "It's a real honour to be here. British female - I don't know what that means, but it's a good job my mum didn't have a boy."

I'm sure there's some kind of post-feminist deconstruction of heteronormative culture narrative going on behind this but I am not entirely sure what it is.

I think she was responding to Katy Perry's surprising reworking of her hit single which the winsome popstrel tonight performed as "I kissed Baudrillard (and I liked it)"

She's trying to, rather prematurely, scotch any rumours of gender identity confusion.

Hard to believe i've never seen that Kylie pic before.

O..L..D..

oh no she's way to nice for that, besides i think it was a cunning ploy to get me to herself and not spend the evening looking at bikes...

icky girl germs rather than bike lust. Stop. Dumpin' time.

Popstrelle.

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

Who'd have thought it, eh?
Sighs

Duffy is clearly a loser..

Obviously.
Prick.

watch her freewheel for the rest of the ad. tit!

Wrong log-in...

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.

Yes, it is easy top get confused between marketing and advertising.
The people who do the original artwork, or designs for example or ok. Its the cunts that sit there all day snorting coke, eating lettuce leaves and seeing who can squeeze the most meaningless phrases into a 6 hour meeting while wanking each other off that need culling. 90% of the biggest pricks I have ever met work in marketing

I love the irony of people gaining valuable PR by slagging off what is essentially branded PR (aka advertising).

Bill Hicks for example. Don't get me wrong, he rocks. But without easy targets like advertising his own brand of cuttingly eloquent bile would never have reached so many, so well.

i think he would have happily sacrificed that one joke for advertising not to exist.

the people who do the original artwork turn into the people who came up with the ideas - designers become 'creative group heads' or similar who come up with the execution of a concept.. they would have decided to plonk duffy on a bike in a supermarket and come up with the 'hello you' line

planners would have come up with the idea of using a celebrity that the target audience can engage with

coke's marketers would have briefed the agency to target the ad at women aged 16-30 or whatever

not really sure who you think the coke-snorting nobs are?

edit: I do know a lot of people who work in agencies that are cunts though, but most of them know they are

Dolan product placement win

As much as people hate it advertising actually plays a pretty important role in global economy. Dreams and ideals are brilliant but reality is a little less forgiving.

Also, without advertising we wouldn't have pieces of cinematic genius such as 'They Live'. An emptier world for all, that would be

Capitalism plays an important role in global economy. Advertising is just the grease on the wheels.

ROFL!!!! Duffy didn't actually ride the bike in the advert, supposedly a stunt double was used.

a stunt double? that makes it sounds cool and dangerous :)
i think we should all try risking our lives one day on a freewheel bike with both brakes.
