Mitchell Johnson, your time is up

Firstly, I am not a fast bowler, in fact quite the opposite.  I'm old, fat and would have to stop and rest half way through my run up.  However, I have been watching cricket for many, many years and one thing stands out above all else - fast bowlers are not very smart!
Hypothical scenerio:  ODI against England, Mitchell Johnson bowls a front foot no-ball so batsman gets a free hit, which he hits for four.  Now what should the bowler do?  Adjust his run-up?  Most people would say yes, but not a fast bowler, he just bowls another front foot no-ball.  So NOW does he adjust his run up?  Apparantly not, lets bowl another no-ball.
For years now I have defended you Mitchell Johnson, but enough is enough.  Sorry mate, please stop this embarassment.  However, if you can take 5 for very little in the next game, maybe all is forgiven.
