I might be addicted to Duffy.


Duffy is a Welsh singer-songwriter. She was born 23 June 1984, a year after I got married so I feel pretty old :) but I like the sound. Perhaps it’s the accent.


duffy_4.jpgAnyway, I’m addicted to advertising too and I ran across this blog post Duffy’s Diet Coke ads condemned over road safety fears. It looks like the uptight simple minded busybodies at RoSPA have nothing better to worry about in the World of Safety than a silly commercial with Duffy not wearing a bicycle helmet. Oh well, I guess that’s the world we live in today. Over-react on the small stuff and ignore the real concerns.


duffy_5.jpgActually, I love Duffy but that’s an awful TV ad lol. I’m sorry, but I know she can do much better than that. I’ll blame it on the director and producers. After all, I don’t know them :)


duffy_6.jpgI was playing around with my Print Screen and Gimp while watching Duffy videos online so I uploaded several small photos. Ain’t she cute? Aww…
