Hello You.

I have decided that the new Diet Coke advert annoys me so freakin' much that I will no longer drink Diet Coke.

What the fuck is "I gotta be me?" and why the fuck is Duffy in this advert riding a bike round a supermarket? Frankly it's just fucking weird and if that's what drinking Diet Coke does to you I want no part of it.

Of course there is the silly implication that for Duffy riding a bike round a supermarket in the few minutes break between sets is being herself. Does that mean being on stage singing isn't? Well don't do it then. Of course that would mean you wouldn't get paid to make shitty adverts like this. Hmmm.

And on the subject of annoying adverts, Iggy Pop and the car insurance advert (it's just been on which is why I remember it). What the fuck is that all about? It's just wrong. It's not that I'm annoyed that he is promoting a company he clearly doesn't use (they don't insure musicians), I never really expect that to be true. Does anyone truly believe that what's her face from Desperate Housewives uses a home hair colourant? Or that Reese Witherspoon uses Avon cosmetics? 'Cause I really don't. What's wrong with the Iggy Pop ad is that IT'S IGGY POP SELLING CAR INSURANCE. Surely there's no need for further explanation?

And, since I'm on a roll and listening to the radio, what's with that Taylor Swift song? Is that even how you spell her name? Aside from the fact that I can't stand it generally, there is a line she sings that goes something like "You were Romeo I was The Scarlet Letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet.". So Romeo and Juliet is the theme, tired but okay, but The Scarlet Letter? What? If I remember correctly, and it has been awhile so I might be a little off, isn't The Scarlet Letter a book about a woman publicly shamed and shunned for adultery? And the Scarlet Letter is her mark of shame? So how does any of this factor into Ms Swifts little ditty? Fucked if I know. Wait, said shamed lady has a kid as a result of her affair, and I think it's a girl, so is that it? Is Ms Swift's Juliet the result of adultery? That's the best I can do.
