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.

for some strange reason i've been really slow about going through this because i really enjoy it

i still seem to find it more tragic than comedic though

He was high as fuck when he wrote season 5. He's talked at length about how he thought it was his best work when he wrote most of it. But then filming it he realized it was kinda dumb with some major highlights. I think that's a big part of why he's reluctant to do a 6th season. He feels uninspired to tell the story and doesn't trust his instincts as they relate to that show and that character right now.

Huh, hadn't heard this. I did hear about how he got super stoned and came up with a whole S5 concept in which he opened his own comedy club, but abandoned it once he got sober. But it sounds like he went back to the fountain for some more inspiration, so to speak.
