Something else I don't like...

I don't hate that many things, but when I do hate something its with a gutsy passion and is usually something completely pointless! Something its just not worth hating as it gets you nowhere.

My latest hate is GHD.

They are a hair care company as far as I can make out. The pertain to have a gospel. The gospel of what...hair? Thats just stupid.

There are two things that irritate me the most though. Here they are as I can tell you are gagging to read a pointless rant about something you care not of! WELL YOU SHOULD CARE.

1) Their adverts. I monumentally and categorically despise their TV adverts. Well, I can only talk about the one I have seen. Its black and white, moody, its a couple in a posh flat. Harsh words are spoken, drinks are split. The man goes off looking smug with himself after the row, the woman discreetly packs her things and then leaves the flat and gets into a taxi. The bloke recluses and chases her. Its advertising Thermodynamics or something and I think is making a very lame and very weak link between a heated argument and heated hair utensils. Its terrible. Really really terrible. Its nauseatingly terrible. Adverts that sell something based on the weakest link ever always annoys me, but there is something of the incredible smugness about this advert that just makes me angry. I would like to inflict pain on GHFUCKINGD and thats that. Thanks

2) The name GHD. I perplexed it for a while trying to figure out what it stood for. They talk about a gospel, about hair, about nothing in particular. The never expand on GHD they just leave it as that. Is it the initials of a name? Is it a clever acronym for something? I pondered more and then it struck me:

G ood
H air
D ay

Is that what is stands for? I hope so, because if so that is so incredibly lame it actually makes the whole thing funny! Here they are trying to be a really posh swanky exclusive expensive desinger brand of hair product and their real name is good hair day. Personally, I have chosen to believe that when the company was first started they called it that and as the years passed they realised what a shite name it was and it got shortened to GHD. Now they just call themselves that and never mention the full name due to the embarrassment of it all. I suspect anyone saying the name in full is immediately punished with a 2 hour hair straightening session without ANY anti frizz serum. Hellish.

Don't buy GHD on account of these two points.
