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'm sorry you didn't like it more, friend.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Snatched was a mixed bag. It started off really promisingly by ripping in to people like Schumer (insufferable, privileged, oblivious white people), then eventually those acidic themes were lost and by the end it was generic and meant nothing. It also felt really cheaply made. Had a few laughs here and there; Ike Barinholtz stole the show.
