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 just finished the first season and this show is awesome. At the same time seeing the credits made me wonder about few things - I mean you kind of get the impression that we see the world through the eyes of this John Wilson person and hear his thoughts, but the show has e.g. 3 writers and six 2nd unit camera operators. I didn't necessarily expect things to happen chronologically the way the are presented in the show (like him going all of a sudden skiing to escape the nicotine withdrawals), but I guess I kind of expected it to be more a documentary than a fiction (him sharing his personal thoughts about the world around him using the material he has shot over the years), but now I'm not so sure about it anymore. Is the landlady just an actor? Who knows, maybe I'm just an idiot but the show is smart and funny anyways.

About halfway through season one now, which I believe is the farthest I've gotten in three or four tries over the years. It's not good, I don't know why it's so beloved. But I'm going to watch it, dammit. I want to be culturally literate!

You should just stop watching. There isn't a point if you don't like it.

Damn. I thought you’d be excited for him.
