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.

If I get it pulled apart, and can't get it back together right, then I can't turn the water back on until I get a plumber to come save me.
