My whole train station is full of Joan!

[yakalskovich]

Today, there were even more billboards advertising the start of 'Mad Men' in German television. My whole train station is full of Joan in backlit glass cases!



The one with Don and Rachel (yay Rachel!) says 'Behind each successful woman, there is a man leering at her ass', and the one with Joan says, 'In the leading role, the role of women [in society]', which sounds less starchy in German than in translation.



Here is the first slogan again, on a large outdoor billboard, done with Peggy and Pete, and this



this is the best I could get of the larger version with Joan on it.

LOL! Totally agree with the translation. Am swiping the German version for facebook though. NOT linking facebook here. Copy/pasted "Hinter jeder erfolgreichen frau steht ein mann, der ir auf den arsch glotzt."

Hinter jeder erfolgreichen Frau steht ein Mann, der ihr auf den Arsch glotzt -- capitalisation is bloody tricky in German.

And yes, it's a very amusing quote.

Danke! - for the correction :) I know that one, and hopefully it's spelled right?

[yakalskovich]

Yes! And you're welcome.-

That first quote sums up Mad Men quite nicely.

[yakalskovich]

Heee.-

It's not just about the women, though. That would be oversimplifying things.
