Is it OK that I had never heard of or seen this commercial campaign until it was mentioned in this headline? Did it only run on sports shows?

The manifesto’s author, ladies & gentlemen.

I guarantee I do not give a shit about Plinkett’s dissection of the prequels. I don’t even know who that is. I didn’t like the prequels, doesn’t mean I want to watch a LOTR Extended Edition-length criticism.

Congratulations for Chadwick withheld. THIS internet nerd does not congratulate you, good day sir!

Pocketcasts is probably the best.

Ah yes, the horrible 5 year old gang members, so intimidating and terrible.

Sting. Sting would be another person who’s a hero. The music he’s created over the years, I don’t really listen to it, but the fact that he’s making it, I respect that.

Dayum, Drake don’t play.
