Tbh I didn't really think he was willingly to sacrifice his brain for a love of television although that would have the article a far better read.
I do hate these types of articles though. Reading gives me a emptiness feeling as they are so incredibly dull and bland. It's something about the style of humour which is a mix of whimsy, tongue in cheek self awareness, self righteousness, contrarianism and really shite references which is really off putting. It's reminds of people who are really uncomfortable with being health and mentally ok, they always need to come with some issue to make themselves feel more interesting like how they have OCD because their toothbrush has to face a certain way.
