TMI in marketing

As you may or may not know, I have a fair bit of curl in my hair. I've spent decades fighting it and the other decades trying to learn how to live with it. Of course, this means that the quest for hair care is an ongoing one. And usually about the time I find a product I like, they stop making/selling it. Obviously I don't buy the high end brands that have been available since Eve first realized her roots needed some attention.

The other day I ran out of a personal favorite and asked SG to pick up some more. They didn't have it. They didn't even have a space on the shelf anymore. (I know, I've checked to confirm this.) So he brought home another brand.

Standing in the shower the next morning, I glanced over to see this slogan:

"I'm deliciously bent and your hair is, too."*

That's getting a little personal, don't you think?

*The dilemma now is that I like the conditioner. But if I buy it again, will the makers take that as a sign their marketing approach is working? Do I dare encourage that sort of behaviour? Or do I just put black tape boxes over the slogan so I don't feel so mildly violated every morning?

Work that kazoo!

Today I found this clip from one of my favorite bands, NewWorldSon:



Love it!
