There was a kid who grew up in Britain and dreamed of one day being the global head of an ad agency in America.
I’ve been watching programming on the TV box recently, and it seems impossible to avoid seeing ads for Windows 7 these days. Now my profession in advertising aside, I think this campaign offers something that everybody can dislike equally.

I have decided that the taco buffet is flawed in numerous ways. I would like to elaborate for you:

So… Vacation pictures!!

I think the world would really benefit from a few names being given more frequently. You know–just bringing back some of the classics:
