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.

But, personally, I have always liked these scenes and appreciated their inclusion, and I think it makes the films feel even rougher and more uncomfortable (which is kind of the point). The moral discomfort of exploitation cinema is a huge reason I have always found it so appealing.
