And to think that was written before Mad Men! Don Draper would be proud.

Sorry, can't place the reference. Never heard of either.-

Ohhhhhh it's the best thing on US TV. Seriously. Season 3 starts...today!

Eeeee!

[yakalskovich]

It didn't get here yet, that I know of.

That's a pity. According to Wikipedia, it seems to be airing pretty much all over Europe *except* for Germany. I wonder why? I hope one of your channels picks it up, because it's a truly brilliant work and has swept the Emmys for two years running, even though it's on a relatively obscure cable channel in the US.

Basically, it's about people in and around an ad agency in the 1960s, and how they adapt--or don't adapt--to the changing times.

[yakalskovich]

Yep, I found that much by now from Wikipedia. It sounds interesting, but can't quite convey why it's considered so utterly brilliant.-

I'm reminded of this awful, awful store, whose rubbish I pray you have not been exposed to:

Eurgh!!! They mean that seriously, do they?

I only know that typical layout from parodies on I Can Has Cheezburger!

[cracicotus.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, they are very serious.

You usually see those awful things in the office cafeterias and the waiting rooms of dental offices.

[yakalskovich]

I'm sure you're not tolerating them in your office! They're icky.-

[cracicotus.livejournal.com]

Absolutely not!

We don't do any of that corporate "success building" crap.
