LWN advertising update

Actually it's a tactic worthy of an advertising executive.

(I recall a series of letters in the Economist a few years back, in response to an article about guerrila marketing which had stated that the average citizen of some country (the US? the UK?) saw three thousand `commercial messages' a day and that of course this should be increased. There were a stream of letters saying no! there are too many! ... and one from an advertising executive expressing bewilderment that anyone wouldn't love adverts no matter what their shape or form and stating that he had always watched adverts for *pleasure*. Some people just don't think like the rest of us.)
