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.

That's good to hear; I liked Season 4, too, but the overuse of ADR and stand-ins was noticeable and distracting.
What is ADR?
