When you veer off into potently creative directions, I am definitely along for the ride. Keep doing what you do, you’re so fucking good at it.

Small town politics - I grew up in one...

Lived two miles out of town but my mother would know all the details by the time I got home.

With the internet, the entire world knows the details before dinner, including the rock thrower.

Nepotism always gets a reaction.

From a business standpoint, this makes sense. You publicize the audition for the commercial to make Clythorn Furniture seem more important, but you use a kid that you know will be photogenic (and also related to someone with power because nepotism) to increase the desirability of the furniture store. But wow this was a dick move, goddamn!
