		<description><![CDATA[So. It is the end of the year &#8230; but .. at the end of November (I think) AdWeek magazine (the people magazine of the advertising industry) published their top 10 television ads of 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[Every once in awhile you come across some magazine advertising that makes you actually stop and look (rare &#8230; I know). It isn&#8217;t annoying, smelly (those damn cosmetic ads), condescending, impossible to figure out what they were trying to say (or why they did it) or have some random half naked model in it.
