A Fit of the Giggles
by Kym on March 29, 2008
Sometime in October I got the giggles from reading the label on a bottle of water I found in our hotel room. Though I made no derogatory comments about the product (it tasted fine, after all, kind of like…water), the owner of the bottled water company took the time to leave me a comment on the post.
Normally I only direct my mildly amused mockery at myself, but really, I can’t help myself this time.
Here is what I posted:
Hexagons Rock
From the label of a bottle of water:
“Ed Hardy Structured Water is designed using a proprietary state of the art quantum physics technology. Our structured living water is treated with reverse osmosis for maximum purity as well as infra-red stimulation and electromagnetism to create the best positively charged hexagonally shaped “structrued water” ever. The absorption rate of hexagonally structured water molecules is as much as four times more efficient than water that is not structured, which enables you to drink less water while achieving hydration faster and more efficiently. This water is natural alkalized calcium living water.”
I feel healthier already.
And here was the response of the company’s owner, who felt inclined to google his company’s name one day:
ED HARDY STRUCTURED WATER IS THE REAL DEAL… It’s sold at Wholefoods Markets.
and I own the company.
I know what your thinking and thats why I put the name Ed Hardy on it..
So it could reach you now.
If you want to learn about life and water.
go to WWW.HADO.NET and watch the movie “WHAT THE BLEEP”
I even got a yoga class for you too.

with understanding
and love…

He says he knows what I’m thinking, but I’m not so sure. Once the giggles died down, I got to thinking about how atrocious his spelling and grammar are. Don’t get me started on the capital letters. That sort of writing hurts my brain, it really does. My advice, Jeff? Ditch the yoga class for a few weeks and work on your writing skills for a wee bit.
As for me, I’ll work on my tendency to be easily amused. I received this email ages ago and I still remember it periodically and burst into a fit of giggles and guffaws all over again.
Thanks for that Jeff. I can’t offer understanding and love since I’m too busy being amused at your expense, but I can say thanks for the laughs!

are you frickin’ kidding? It’s water. But maybe I’ll go watch that movie. Maybe it will tell me about super oxygen that I should be breathing instead.
Maybe he could market that next….

Call me confused, but what in God’s name did he say? I don’t even understand his email. Seriously. Did he have a point?
Are you sure it actually from the owner of the company? Because someone with such poor grammar skills and a total lack of ability to communicate should not even be dipping fries at McDonald’s, let alone owning a company and selling a product that might actually enter a person’s body. (Coming from she who begins a sentence with because.) Thanks for stupifying me!

LOL. Considering I was being critical of that guy’s grammar, I should probably have proofread my own comment.
Second paragraph should begin with “Are you sure it IS actually…”

Okay, I am so bad. you lost me at atrocious spelling and grammar! I didn’t even notice.

Oh my word….that is so funny. He doesn’t present himself as very professional, now does he? tee hee

hexagon shaped water? What if I drink the water from a hexagon shaped bottle? Would I get the same healthy effects? ;)

Wow. I don’t quite know what to say about this. Although I am laughing too ;)

That’s hilarious. Both the quote from the label and his response! So, Jeff owns the company but named the water Ed?

oh.
my.
bob.
i have been drinking water that was NOT hexagonally shaped! WHY DIDN’T SOMEONE TELL ME!!!
i hope it’s not too late.
i wonder, if i write to ed-jeff, will he give ME his love and or understanding? will that be enough? can i be saved?
how does putting ‘ed hardy’ on something make you get it now? can i get stuff now by putting ‘ed hardy’ on it? i’m going to go try. i’m going to buy a lottery ticket and call it ‘ed hardy’.

That is too funny. I love your posts! I just caught up on the last five.
I can completely understand your taking a break, or being a part-time blogger. That’s me.
I’m not back yet, but almost. I had an epiphany of sorts a few weeks ago, and a post is coming on soon.
By the way, Michal Buble is more divine in person! Miss you, dear!

Hee hee. And there I was not even caring what shape my water was. Tsk. I have so much to learn.
And who is Jeffery?

Hey, I’m popping out of my normal “lurky” state, again. This post had be laughing and annoyed at the same time. I was laughing with you, at Jeffery, and annoyed with Jeffrey. I had an experience last year with a whole group of loons who followed the “science” and ideals from “What the Bleep do We Know?” (and other new age non-sense like “the Secret”. It’s a laughable, infuriatingly incorrect pseudoscience film. If you want more hilarious gobbledy-gook like you read on the water bottle label, then it’s a great unintentional comedy.
