Audi TV ad and AdGoodness top ads of 2006

Frederick Samuel runs an amazing advertising/design blog called Advertising Design/Goodness and he had a top work of 2006 section. It's rather inspiring and neat to notice the outstanding work. However, it appears that some of the work is meant for awards shows and not for actual use. What I mean by that is how many times do you see those award-winning ads actually appear in Time, CNN, ABC, and other mainstream media venues? Also, some creative directors don't want to see students with "Lurzer-Archive" type ads in their books but then the "almighty" awards shows reward those type of ads. So what's a jr. creative to do?

Here is a foreign Audi ad I saw from El Mallat shift's blog linked to that post. I found it to be very, let's just say different, than the usual American automobile advertising.

Nice blog but i've noticed something makes me laugh and my girlfriend:) At the post you wrote my blog's name like this: El Mallat shift. LOL. I think you guess this blog from Arabia or somewhere in middleast:) The name is like that: Elma+Alt+Shift. I am a Mac user and 'elma' means Apple, i mean Command key. And these are the keys of the Apple keyboard. Not the arabic words:) The blog is totally Turkish and a little bit English.
Thank you for the link.
Take care.
