I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The spear isn't a great single-combat weapon, either. Especially not the way the unsullied use it. They seem to fight in a phalanx formation, which derives its strength from the dicipline of the unit more than the abilities of the individual fighters. If Drogo can parry one thrust of grey worms spear he's inside its reach and it has been nullified as an offensive threat. Now grey worm either has to drop it and reach for his short sword, which takes time, or switch entirely to defending with his tiny round shield while attempting to evade. Drogo could also effectively offset the range of the spear with his whip. I don't think Grey Worm has the tools to win this.
