A great look at Mad Men
We absolutely love Patrick Scullin. He’s one of the best writers in this business, in our humble opinion. He’s written a very cool take on the advertising show, Mad Men, which is worth a read. Mad Men is a killer show — for the fashion alone. But, like Batman: The Dark Knight, it offers an uncomfortable, surreal look at our current reality. On Mad Men, ad people love to watch the open prejudice, open discrimination, objectification, and nullification (Patrick’s verbs) of women, and those who aren’t the “right” kind of white men. Twitter rumbles about it, blogs buzz, and we shake our heads at the ridiculousness of that era, commenting on how much times have changed. I mean, geez– you can’t smoke in your office anymore. It’s amazing anybody gets any work done at all.
