I'd rather watch Jackass for something like that. This seems like a complete waste of talent.

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.

As a document on a specific excessive culture from a specific time and place, I think it's extremely effective and entertaining.

Unlike American Hustle, which is lukewarm dogshit.
