4. We as a society (for the most part) were enthralled with Kevin on Shark Tank and Dragons Den. “Ohh he’s so meta shrewd and cunning”. Amazing what a few years and hindsight can do to reveal what an absolutely terrible, repugnant human being he is.

6. Alberta goes nuts for anything that burns and releases lots of gases.

7. There is always a chance his wife kills it.

8. Because they are stupid….
