		<description><![CDATA[Aside from not being a very good branding message, there’s something wrong with the latest Microsoft campaign: It doesn't fit in any accepted category. That's OK if you're bold enough and genius enough to know the basics and build upon them with innovative approaches.

		<description><![CDATA[The commercials I admire consistently, as a class, are info-commercials.
