But no, these kinds of promotions are always so horribly transparent that they could never work. One of the few good things about British advertising is that they realise that the American "This is good shit! Buy this shit now!" approach doesn't work here. Unfortunately, despite 5 minute ad breaks full of the bastards, the government clearly hasn't learned anything about how to convey a message to its own people.
Which says it all, really.
