# I read that as "detests".
Which has, sadly, somewhat diminished the humour of this for me.

Simon Cowell scares the bejeyasus out of me, though. I'm pretty sure he's the front of some sort of sinister government project.

# I saw a book in the window of Waterstones the other day
I forget which, probably some Chris Moyles crap or something, but it had a pull-quote on the cover saying: "You will love this" - Simon Cowell.

This makes me both angry and depressed at the same time.

# See - that's exactly right.
Whatever prissy clot claimed you can't judge a book by it's cover had clearly never seen the Gareth Gates "autobiography".

# hahah what kind of quote is that?
"You will love this, because I say so?" - they may as well just stick a thumbs-up sticker on it with "Simon Cowell likes this"

or is it "You will love this, because if you take any notice of what I think then you are entirely dim, making you the ideal readership for this pile of horseshit"

# I once went to an evening with Shaun Hutson, the horror writer
It was meeting Garth Merenghi in person, but he was quite funny and one of the things he admitted to was when his friend Bruce Dickinson (of Iron Maiden fame) wrote a horror novel, he dashed off three quotes they could use on the cover without even reading the thing. The publishers chose one of the quotes, Hutson got paid.

I mean trying to hit each other with metre long bits of metal.

Although your suggestion would make a more interesting anecdote.
