# it does work tho
I bought a book the other day after seeing an advert on the tube. It reminded me that the book was for sale and I'd wanted to read it. Yay for adverts.

# But we're just having a laugh
a lot of lawyers are nice and very worthwhile human beings, we take the piss. a lot of priests do good and aren't peados, we take the piss. a lot of politicians do genuinely care and do behave with honesty and honour, we take the piss.

we're just taking the piss - please chill out, have a biscuit.

edit: caps made me look all shouty, which isn't how I meant it

# That's how I read it
Advertising is play.

# Should be
But it's also bloody hard when you can't come up with an idea and are juged entirely on your creative output.

# That's why I'm so glad I don't work in advertising
"K3rry - finished that advert yet"
"No - but I have re-written it into a PHP form...."

# you should add
that when you got the bookshop you saw a book that looked interesting by someone you'd never heard of but you bought it anyway, so a new writer made more money to encourage them to carry on writing and eventually produce the next great British novel.

or would that be over-egging the pudding?

# nope
didn't do that. I went it. Bought the book. Read most of it whilst my g/f was waiting in vodaphone trying to get her phone working. and then left it in the bog.

# face it
the general public hate advertising. yes, there's all sorts of hypocrisy in that. but it's gonna take more than another ad campaign to change it.

# What advertising as a whole?
All adverts? None of them make you laugh even remotely? Not even a small wry smile? Not even one ad you have seen that made you happy? Sure?
(I helped save b3ta! mikemystery blames the parents, Wed 15 Jan 2003, 19:42, archived)
# noo
I mean the public has a general antipithy to avdertising, whilst enjoying some ads at the same time.
