One British perspective of Mad Men (culled from the Guardian)
Is it me or is/was Mad Men jus' plain ol' shite.

Nothing happens in this dull tirade o' fuckin' guff apart from a history lesson in media studies an' advertisin'.

It reminds me of one o' them programmes ye/one used to get at schol..."How We Used To Live" it so powerful in the Freudian sub concious level that I too wan' to smoke myself to death jus' so it fuckin' finishes.

Perhaps I'm missing out on the subtleties of the show.

I quite like the red haired bird in it though.

4. That was the BEST episode ever...
There is a lot on the internets about it...

The episode is called "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency..."


It caught me completely by surprise, and I
LOVE Sterling's response to the "incident".

:rofl:

5. John Slattery gets all the best lines in that show.
"He might lose the foot"
"Right when he got it in the door"
