None of this is new... Back in the sixties, before most of you wankers were born, PKL... George Lois's first agency after leaving DDB, got into book publishing and making bicycles. They also did some great advertising on the side. Needless to say, within a few short years they went belly up... Just stick to making ads guys, even if you do it badly, 'cos if I want dildos, I'll go to a fucking dildo company... Duh!!!
