Allegra commercial: Singing woman w/purple headphones

This commercial has been playing nonstop for the last 9 months and I've been reading that some people are REALLY fed up with it. At first I thought she was on roller skates, but it turns out she's just marching through an outdoor market glaring at the camera, yelling/singing the song "Bulletproof".

On top of this, they've concealed the actress's identity (probably because she'd like to work again) and sites like Reddit are swamped with posters trying to guess who she is. Has anybody heard who this person is, or can anybody guess?

Not sure of the actress, but this comment is insightful.

"After watching it carefully each time I suspect the backlash is owed to the director who probably pushed the singer to do God knows how many takes 'this time with feeling,'" user Acrobatic-Cabinet874 commented. "I conclude the anger on her face is for whoever that person is as she does take [number whatever] and the kid almost takes her out for the umpteenth time."

I've never seen that commercial though I'm sure I would mute it immediately if it came on. The medication related commercial that makes me want to come out of my skin is this one.

Yikes.

Diabetes looks super fun.

Seriously! What I want to know is, where are these towns where people confidently walk through markets singing or dance with mobs of similarly-diseased people in the street? When I drive downtown it's just people walking on the sidewalk and the occasional hobo.

You obviously don't have the super duper fun type of diabetes which brings out the song in folks around you.

From the looks of the jubilant diabetes dance in that commercial they treat it with cocaine in that town.

"Diabetes looks super fun."

It's not.

Signed, million man.

Based on that commercial, you're obviously not doing it right.

Try harder!

[–] Bloodshot77 (13762) 2 months ago

I hate that commercial so much.

Signed, million man.

I'd love to see a commercial that promotes things to reduce people's chances of getting Type 2.

Where are those commercials at?

Oh wait, there's no money in prevention. My bad.

:29-:53 What's going on? Did they forget to edit out the behind the scenes stuff? I'm not sure what they were going for.

I guess the takeaway message is if you take that medication for your diabetes you can become a pampered commercial actress as long as you're willing to dance around and sing like being treated for a disease makes you orgasmically happy.
