Duffy and duffer: Flat

Scientist reckon that apspartame can cause brain damage, although there is little evidence that drinking products which contain it - like Diet Coke - will impair judgement in human consumers.



Oh.

Yes, that's Duffy, pitching Diet Coke. Holy Moly has seen it:

[It] shows Duffy leaving an audience waiting for an encore so that she can borrow a bike and go to a supermarket to get a Diet Coke while singing the Sammy Davis Jnr song 'I've Got To Be Me'.

Coke have said that they picked the song because it "celebrates women's right to express their individuality and take control".

That's exactly what Sammy Davis Junior had in mind when he was singing it, too. That's a fact.

And how better to express your individuality by looking like a half-wit in order to sell fizzy pop, eh?

Ah I see what they did there. She's on a bike... in a supermarket!!! How positively quirky of her!

It's sad that certain media have taken to portraying a "women's right to express their individuality and take control" as something that is equivalent to "oh gosh look at me I'm so free spirited I'm standing on the couch!!!! I'm such a rebel". Insulting is putting it mildly.
