Everyone’s getting all end-of the-year now and the NY Times is no exception. Neither am I, for that matter, as you will see below.
The Times had an article yesterday titled Reliving the Best (and Worst) Ads of 2011 and it’s actually (yes, I’m surprised. I’m not the biggest Times fan myself.) a good, fun piece with the fantastic details of each campaign’s ad agency, when they could sleuth it out. I probably just liked it because it mentioned my favorite Chrysler campaign, but that’s beside that point.

Which is to say, for all those people listing all the big moments they will remember Torres and Ross for? This is mine.
