    Who seriously writes in to complain about this sort of thing?

    Coca-Cola pointed out Duffy wore a black and white sparkly top that stood out

    Ok, I think that anyone who complains and has children is missing a really important lesson for their kids.

    "If it's on TV and it's not the news, then it's fictional" and "You're the one responsible for what you do, no one else, stop trying to blame outside influences for your bad/stupid behaviour"

    She was stopped and questioned by the Fashion Police as a result. Attending Officer Wan reported that the sparkly top should have been combined with something in pink organza.

    If anyone contradicts this, I'll scratch yer eyes out.

    Yeah, the thought of kids getting some exercise today is terrifying too!

    Half of the people around here are more likely to put the windows through of our local supermarket, not ride a bike though it

    Her voice sounds like a cat being dragged through lots of bushes. I saw the ad once on TV and was like, that was painful to listen to. Again now, its worse!
