– AdFreak wraps up the year with its list of the Ten Most Wanted stories of the year, the stories they most enjoyed covering in 2006. From Folger’s Happy Mornings to IKEA’s dog penis to TBWA’s toilet bandit to Bank America’s bastardization of U2, it’s all there for your enjoyment.

– TBWAChiatDay and Firstborn have created a virtual road trip site for JBL that lets visitors get inside the world of a groupie.

– Shannon from Glossy received a very inventive Advent calendar Christmas card from ACLC. Each of the days on the calendar for the month of December are stages in the development of a campaign. Nice.

– Oh look. An online press kit for Paramount Home Video’s The Last Kiss.

– Sean John (Diddy, P. Diddy, whatever) has launched a campaign in Canada to raise awareness of the many counterfeiters who rip off his brand.

– Mobile content company Airborne Entertainment is cuddling with Marc Ecko in a deal that will bring the Ecko brand to ringtones, ringbacktones, message alerts, screensavers and wallpapers to cell phones the world over.

– While the Federal Trade Commission agreed with Commercial Alert that some word of mouth marketing that does not disclose the brand can be deceptive, the Commission declined (pdf) to heed Commercial Alert’s request (pdf) the Commission launch a formal investigation into the practice.
