not wearing reflective clothing and her bicycle had no lights

do people have nothing better to do?

Eighteen viewers complained the singer, from Nefyn, Gwynedd, was not wearing reflective clothing and her bicycle had no lights in the Diet Coke commercial.

She's above the law, she was being a fakenger on her single speed.

I find people riding after dark without lights or anything reflective dangerous and annoying so why not complain?

role models and all that

 

[HJ]

Apparently she was riding with lights, it is just that they are rather dim, a bit like the 18 people who complained...

 

[thomas]

I'll admit the advert annoyed me for not having lights...but I'm not one of those 18

while her bicycle had lights on the front and rear in each shot

I couldn't see any lights.....couldn't give a damn about hi-viz/helmet/etc.

yeah but its not real, its like having a cartoon charector riding without lights and reflective gear. How often do you see people cycling in Waitrose? And you cant belame her for all the curiors riding without helemts, lights or relfective gear. I think its silly to complain about it.

 

[Tynan]

people complain about far less and the more something is portrayed as normal the more it becomes accepted

complaint wasn't upheld anyway

I used to cycle through the shop where I worked

Duffy wasn't riding the bike. That was done by a stunt double.

Duffy was sat on a bike which was bolted to a camera trolley.

If she passes me again and dosen't stop to give me an autograph, I'll get me other 17 mates to ring from their home phones this time!

Can't stand her vocal style - so don't care if she comes a cropper.

No wonder Woolworths closed then

was it really a stunt double?!
