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.

I used to have most of these Street Sharks action figures. I kind of wish I still had them, they're very cool looking

i've seen these but i'm pretty sure this is the first post in this thread that makes me feel my age. my friends' little brothers or nephews would play with these.
I'm, what, 5 years younger than you? That makes sense
