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.

I will add that my wife doesn't like it, but will reluctantly watch with me. She says it makes her too tense

Mine says the same

If it doesn't make you tense you might not be human. The tension is a feature not a bug.

sounds like she needs a real man to help her unwind.

I gave her a neck massage with CBD lotion last night while we watched Forks. I'm literally doing the best I can here.

My uninformed suspicion is that the writers are still writing when they're not picketing, because they love writing, and there's a lightning-in-a-bottle element to the craft, and they want to have stories ironed out / scripts ready when things are ready to go into production.

This is 100% speculation and I'll gladly toss it if you say I'm out of my depth!
