I haven't seen it but read it in the Metro this morning. I'm stunned that Flake would soil their fine history of chocoerotic advertising by using Joss Bloody Stone. Does she sing in it? Does she use the Flake as a microphone, then fellate it, then eat it? (That actually might be an OK advert though).

No she does not fellate. She brushes her hand against her chest though. The effect is more messy, clumsy cow than chocoerotic.

I see she dropped the faux-American accent for us. Thanks Joss. And I see you really dressed up for the ad to, fabulous.
This amazing comment on the youtube video pretty much sums it up:
"maybe they could have just had her sing the flake song and eat the flake. that would have been nicer."

It really creeps me out. She sings it like a serial killer.

Did you know there's 710 calories in a flake bar? Keep eating Joss, Keep eating.

Damn. I wanted Joss to get fat. On the plus side, bring on the Flakes!

Have you been basing your 2000 calorie a day intake on KJ values?

I saw this and thought of LowCulture.
Why can't she just fuck off?

I've seen it now and it's so completely crap and overlong. The Flake just isn't being sold to me. Where's the "moment of joy"? It's depressing. My concept of microphone/blow job/chomp would have been so much better!

I see she dropped the faux-American accent for us. Heh, because she was so convinced that was the only reason people hated her. Nice try, lady, but it'll take more than that.

I was really suprised to hear that Flake had hired her- do either party think it will redeem her public image? It's just very annoying and doesn't even remotely make me want to buy a Flake (which I do really like) which is surely the point of the whole thing?

I can just picture Joss shopping in ASDA going through her shopping list in a similar manner, harmonizing her complete journey.

I just had to Youtube this because I hadn't seen it and so many people I know have said how horrific it is. I really wish I hadn't now. I regurgitated a bit of Weetabix when she started her breathy singing. She's now speaking in an English accent, of sorts, but still continues to sing in some sort of Beyonce-esque ghetto accent. Argh!
And to top it all off I really, really hate it when you see people on TV having a "jamming" session in a recording studio, as if it makes it all seem so much more "real".
Fuck off, Joss, and take your Flake with you.

I generally prefer Ripples anyway because you don't get flakey bits on yourself but still I wouln't buy a Flake on principle now. I don't want to give Joss the satisfaction.

I feel like i should have poppers at hand to listen to that. Maybe Joss could get them to remix her version?

I think this was 'my flake ad' .. according to the talking head gods everyone has one particular flake girl they revere as iconic They're both far too modern! Mine would probably be either Sara Moon type woman doing watercolour in a field, or Sara Moon type woman in a gypsy caravan. Joss Stone is just a skank in that advert.

No she does not fellate. She brushes her hand against her chest though. The effect is more messy, clumsy cow than chocoerotic. Whenever I see it I keep waiting for her to get all the crumbs down her cleavage, and then have a rummage in her vest top for the bits and get chocolate all over the top. Absolutely not in a sexual way, just because that's what happens when I eat them!
