You just can't win. I once rode through a supermarket (after a glass or two of sherry) and got some complaints... and I had lights and was wearing a helmet!

After investigating, the ASA did not uphold the complaints, noting the "fantasy context" and deciding that older children would understand cycling round a supermarket was not a realistic situation.
I get this image in my head of a panel of grey haired experts, taking expert advice about what the youth of today consider normal, and then sagely coming to a wise decision...

Sounds like there is scope for an educational parody. She could knock down a few pedestrians because she can't stop her stupid fixie properly, get sideswiped by a bus for not having lights, suffer a debilitating head injury from not wearing a helmet and then all her teeth fall out from drinking Coke.

Can I complain to the ASA about Duffy, not because of anything, just because it's her, y'know?

To think I pay for these muppetts to take these complaints seriously enough to investigate - a few more the dole queue, in my opinion.

I prefer this advert of her

were any of the complainants cyclists?
i dont recall her cycling on a public highway in the ad so lights are not required. that said should she be riding on footways/underpasses and most importantly IN through the OUT door of a supermarket?

Only thing i looked at on that advert was her HUUUUGE bottom when cycling in them jeans. I mean, shes a pretty looking lady and not in too bad shape. Why did someone not say "yes your arse does look big in those"

They should be given speed cameras and high vis jackets. That would keep 'em busy.

no hand signals either. I mean, it's a disgrace isn't it?

You don't. The ASA isn't government funded.

Ah! the dole queue. And the tax payer won't be paying for that then?

Really? Either you have low standards or I have unrealistically high ones!?

She wasn't wearing jeans? And you rarely, if ever, get a shot of her rear, which is actually fairly small if you look at the last scene of the ad?Posted 2 years ago # -

Singlespeed, fixie courier type bike. She would fit in here then.

Duffy's alright, she's a good looking girl in the real world sense, not some twiglet.
I like what she does as well except for that ad, its sounds like fingernails down a black board to me.
I would and i'd buy her a pint and chips as well!Posted 2 years ago # -

1. It had brakes
2. It had lights
3. Unlikely
4. It was Diet CokePosted 2 years ago # -
IT doesnt appear to be a fixie, at one point she clearly freewheels (22 seconds in) for several seconds.

Granted, she's "normally sized", but that doesnt mean she's good looking. She looks like a man in drag
This is about the most flattering picture there is of her in the world i think:

Sounds like a 9 year old with laryngitis - after 10 mins I feel an urge to tear my ears off.
Looks ok and if you think her bum looks big you need to get out more!!

Shocked by this - I hope it wasn't cyclists who complained!!!
Nothing better than seeing cycling's profile raised in the media.
TBH I let me 5yr old cycle round our local Co-op, but she does wear a helmet and reflectors.

Miketually - no lights and her brain will rot from the Aspatame.
