"I just want to enjoy the commercial. I want to get the thing," he said. "We know the product is going to stink. We know that because we live in the world, and we know that everything stinks.

And I think spending your life trying to dupe innocent people out of hard-won earnings to buy useless, low-quality, misrepresented items and services is an excellent use of your energy."
