AD SHOCKER! Drink up ‘cos you love life (Coca Cola)

Sometimes the only reason to mention something is that annoys the crap out of you. Case in point: the Diet Coke tortoise advert.

Coca-Cola has been responsible for some real whiffy-ones as far as advertising on TV is concerned. From the ‘hands of love’ guff across the prairie fields in the seventies, to their ‘Just for Taste of it’ bile in the eighties, right up to this current slab of commercial hell-on-earth…

What we need is a visionary, someone to take our hand and transport us to a new and exciting time. Where is this sacred being? Where, pray, this human of such monumental intellect with vast, original new ideas? Step forward Kirstie Alley, star of 2am ITV s(h)itcom Veronica’s Closet
