In Japan is it the same outcome? or do people there tend to avoid those persons that are handing flyers like the plague and never bother to take one?
From what I saw when I was in Japan they're a little more clever about it, they place their advertisments on things you actually want, so they hand out little packets of tissues, (like the one that Ryusuke gives Koyuki in the first episode of Beck) or on fans during the summer, it gets ungodly hot in Tokyo, people take them because their useful, and the advertisers get their ads out, everyone wins.
