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.

When you consider the meteoric rise and tragic downfall of Bam Margera, then it actually is quite a bit like Jackass.tree_ wrote:Sounds like JackassFarmer John wrote:There aren’t really any likeable characters, and none of them are very fleshed out at all.

My review on RM mentioned that Babylon's humor was very similar to that of Jackass (and Triangle of Sadness), but not actually that funnytree_ wrote:Sounds like JackassFarmer John wrote:There aren’t really any likeable characters, and none of them are very fleshed out at all.
