These puppets runs across most of the Sky channels. They’re the Diet Coke ‘sassy marionettes’ and they’ve got names, day jobs at a fashion mag and choreographed dance moves to match.

To be honest, they really freak me out. Like Bratz dolls with disposable income.

Puppets don’t scream freedom to choose, do they?  Plus people who operate marionettes in their spare time, are called manipulators … which is an odd message to send out.

Each time I see them, I imagine some giant Puppeteer (who looks like Tony Blair for some reason) over at Coke pulling their strings and making them pick up a coke light.
