My brother used to collect G.I. Joe figures but only the COBRA stuff. They had way cooler stuff than the good guys. My brothers always bugged me growing up, but I always respected this choice and thought it was cool. I should tell him that someday.

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.
