Really hate the burnt doll's face with hair straighteners.

[Wherewhenwhy]

Any chance of it going?

[chemenger]

I don't think you are meant to like it.

[ForgettableTampon]

yes agree chem

It's horrible, yes

(I don't use straighteners so praps that's why I am okay with it, it's a non-problem, IYSWIM)

[VegetariansTasteLikeChicken]

yeah, it's meant to be horrible and probably a good thing

[MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic]

What is this? I come straight into Talk which is why I assume I have never seen it - had a quick look at the home page and other bits and still can't see anything! I am itching with curiosity...

[VegetariansTasteLikeChicken]

it's an advert about how a certain percentage of burns on children every years are form straightners. Public health campaign and a pic of a doll with a burnt dace.

[MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic]

Ahhh that's why. I don't see the ads. The only person who gets burnt with hair straighteners here is me, currently have a two inch scab across my scalp (luckily under my hair) where I misjudged where my head was. I don't think people do take them as seriously as a hot clothes iron, even though they're essentially the same thing.

[VegetariansTasteLikeChicken]

I know people who do their small children's hair with them (like 2 or 3 year old) madness.

[MyNameIsWinkly]

I can't see the ads but I have a very noticeable scar on one cheek from being burned by DM's curling tongs as an infant, so I imagine I am in favour of the campaign.

Hi all,

Sorry if the picture's freaked you out a bit. We know it isn't nice, but that was the intention in order to get the message across.

Hopefully it won't pop up too often for you!

[NinjaCow]

It isn't meant to be pleasant. Imo it isn't disturbing or damaging or anything- memorable though- so is fine.
