Depressing complaint to the ASA

[Origamist]

Right I am binning the sweaty nylon builders jacket and going out to get myself a sequined top for the winter!

Go for faceted sequins, they reflect the light better than flat ones...

Coca-Cola Great Britain (Coca-Cola) said the ad was not meant to reflect reality. They said it was meant to be Duffy's fantasy, a scenario that depicted her escape from the pressures of stardom and far removed from the real world. They said they wanted to show her taking that journey in a way that would not be possible in real life.

Too right. She was freewheeling on a fixie for starters.

At least she was riding in the drops.

My complaint about the tfl ad campaign is that the cyclists are too clean. They are smiling moronically without any reason and gazing vacantly into the distance. They are obviously not engaged with any surrounding traffic. They are clearly POBs.

OK, POBs are fine. But any campaign should at least recognise the gritty, sweaty reality of regular cycling in London.

User1314 is the gritty, sweaty reality of London cycling. TFL should pap him at Colliers Wood and get the image online asap.

Scratch 'n' sniff type thing on the poster, perhaps? The smell of paddeds after an hour's exertion?

Hmmm... you can go too far.....

The next time you see a car advert, complain that the driver isn't wearing a helmet.

After all, it's a non-compulsory safety measure that may reduce accident severity in some circumstances...

Absolutely all drivers in car ads should be wearing Motoring Helmets after all driving is a dangerous activity with a high risk of head injury. In fact we should start a campaign for compulsory wearing of Motoring Helmets!! Yes they do exist...
