How hate grows.

I discovered today that if you google "Todd Sampson Hate" then my jelssie post is the first search result! I'm the biggest hater. Frankly I'm surprised that there aren't more of us out there.

He's a slow grower. At first you think "wow, who is that cool guy in the tshirt, look at his pretty cheekbones, what is that accent—it's lovely". And then you think "He is an image professional. That coolness is carefully honed!". And then you think "Actually, that coolness is kind of a lie, because he's always ripping into the ads and the big companies, but he works for them! How is he any better than Russel? At least Russel looks like what he is, and laughs at it." And then the deceitful hipness is too much and the bile rises in your throat.

I exaggerate slightly. There is no bile. But I have to exaggerate, because so many people are blinded by the cheekbones and the tshirts and the accent.
