		<title>Sabbatical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brilliant! Cheers! is going on a sabbatical. By that I mean I won&#8217;t be updating it for a bit until I decide what I&#8217;m doing with the site. I appreciate all the comments and all the visitors I&#8217;ve had but I feel like my blog has been sadly scattered over things I find interesting without [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can I Get a Good Punk Rock Movie?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got done watching &#8216;What We Do Is Secret&#8217;, the movie about one of my favourite bands: the Germs. It kinda blew.
There are many, many great documentaries on bands and music that I love. For some reason whenever they attempt to make a movie about a band they seem to lose the plot. Perhaps [...]]]></description>

		<title>20 January, 2009; A Truly Historic Day and Misunderestimating Crime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a lot of coverage on the news about a job transition, sadly mine seems to be overlooked. George W. Bush and I have a few things in common; we both have the same middle initial and we both left our jobs on the same day. The differences are that nobody calls [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Double Espresso For Me and a Latte For My Giant Rabbit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coffee is one of the wonders of civilisation but there is always some buzzkill trying to find ways to make it scary. Now too much caffeine might induce hallucinations. I doubt this will deter us hardcore addicts; indeed it might open up a new market for Amsterdam coffee shops.
To be honest, I don&#8217;t put much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Shirtless, but Iggy is Covered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Johnny shilling butter it&#8217;s about time another punk got a piece of the pie. Carnival Cruise lines has already used Iggy&#8217;s drug fueled anthem to sell cruises to pensioners and families but now Swiftcover uses the man himself to sell&#8230; insurance.
Sadly with the death of Stooges guitarist, Ron Asheton, insurance policies are probably something Iggy actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Have a Brilliant Christmas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I´ve been on a bit of a blog hiatus. At first it was because of a lot of traveling to Denmark and the States and then there was a bit of a forced blackout. I was interviewing for a new job and didn´t really want to be discussing that. 
Now I have a new job [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ich Bin Ein Doppelganger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greenpeace has reanimated a famous dead president to push a sustainable energy message for conference in Berlin. I&#8217;ve never liked these kind of CG Lazarus treatments because they always end up looking rather creepy. Given that it&#8217;s Halloween, perhaps that&#8217;s appropriate.
I don&#8217;t think these are a great idea because they tend to unsettle people. We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Politics and Advertising</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a time, usually around 3 am, that many people who work in advertising wake up in a cold sweat. A panicky thought flits across the conscience; Maybe I&#8217;m doing something that is less than noble. It&#8217;s happened to me: &#8216;Perhaps these people&#8217;s lives won&#8217;t be complete and free from discomfort, pain and inconvenience [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Love That Dare Not Advertise Itself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#8217;t a huge fan of Coke&#8217;s Oasis Cactus Kid campaign because it seemed a bit heavy-handed in the &#8220;look at how wacky this is&#8221; to ensure YouTube virility. I do give them props for trying to create deeper content than a simple flash in the pan and will say that it appears to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spreadable, Creamy Punk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If good deserves Lurpak, what does bad food get? Johhny Rotten perhaps. 
As an old punk I&#8217;m not offended by the idea of my punk icons doing an advert anymore than I&#8217;m offended by Henry Rollins appearing in bad movies. As an advertising guy, however, I&#8217;m offended at the crap advert made and the complete [...]]]></description>
