Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2014
Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects the recognition of an income tax benefit of $11.4 million related to previously incurred expenses for the proposed merger with Publicis. On May 8, 2014, the proposed merger with Publicis was terminated. Prior to the termination of the merger, the majority of the merger costs were capitalized for income tax purposes and the related tax benefits were not recorded. Because the merger was terminated, the merger costs were no longer required to be capitalized for income tax purposes. At June 30, 2014, our unrecognized tax benefits were $131.2 million. Of this amount, approximately $58.8 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.
