			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/wires.jpg" alt="wires" title="wires" width="345" height="230" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22152" />Widely considered to be the smartest business publication in the world, <i>The Economist</i> aired its first TV commercial in eight years over the weekend in England. Tagged &#8220;Let Your Mind Wander,&#8221; it features French tightrope artist (<a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/funambulist">funambulist</a>) Florent Blondeau walking on red wires above Budapest, Hungary. Says the magazine about the tagline: It&#8217;s &#8220;a metaphor for the inherent pleasure in connecting different ideas, and how this is reflected in the wide-range news and analysis available in a copy of <i>The Economist</i>.&#8221; <span id="more-22150"></span></p>

Well, I&#8217;ve let my mind wander, and what it tells me is: if you&#8217;re going to make me sit through a minute of basically boring, low-level tightrope walking, you better pay it off with some excitement or irony or a face splat or <i>something</i> that makes me think &#8220;a-ha.&#8221; This makes me think about ripping a copy of your magazine into shreds. <!--more--></p>
