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.

Discovered the wife's vanity sink was leaking into the cabinet below, luckily it seems to have all dripped on a makeup box and mostly saved the cabinet itself
