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 mean the public has a general antipithy to avdertising, whilst enjoying some ads at the same time.
