All advertising is advertising you didn't ask for. Otherwise it's product 
literature. :-)

I would say (for example) that most "junk mail" would be spam. But someone 
standing in the door of the store handing out coupons good in that store for 
products you may or may not be there to buy wouldn't be spam. The server 
telling you the specials of the day is advertisement but not spam. (Unless 
the special of the day is spam, of course.)

I don't think you can take someone who says "I hate all forms of all 
advertising" and use their opinions to base "good advertising vs bad 
advertising" discussions.
