Penguin. Worst. Marketing. Ever.  via Somewhat Muchly

& this woman, who actually buys and reads books, is not likely to buy another with this imprint.

This made me smile. If I cut Penguin off the list of publishers I buy from I doubt there would be many books left...They seem almost god-like in their dominance. Odd then that they need such naff publicity. Or perhaps I'm missing something...

Happy New Year.

Yack! I thought I'd activated some spyware for a second before I saw what the ad was about.

might we take comfort that it's penguin UK?

Whoa. Sort of a "Bimbos for Books" approach... like the Mudflap Girls have taken up literacy as a hobby.

Or perhaps it is that penguin thinks that men use that other little head for reading...

Hahahaha! HA! Ha, ha... *wiping tears from eyes*

That was a good one.

I don't mean to be devil's advocate here, but being married to a man who never reads anything but his fisherman's magazine and the sunday paper, I would gladly give my half of the house for a man that reads. I fantasize all the time about conversations critiquing books, instead of the weather.

Happy New Year! Sorry I took so long. Just figured out how to blogroll. I've got you now, my pretty! And all your little pretty words, too!

Silly!

My husband loves to read, too - so I can buy even more books, and then say that they're for him! I do sometimes have a hard time getting them away from him, though. I don't know what would happen if he found some time for the computer...
