Yep.  In fact, www.jatak.com has been a success in Denmark.  It is a
service that allows users to ask for advertisement in email, and
specify their interests as well what format they prefer.

Advertisers then pay www.jatak.com to distribute the advertising to
customers known to be interested.

Advertersing is both useful and popular, when done right.  It is only
the unsolisticated kind that stinks.
