When we went home for Christmas, my mom leant us the first season of Mad Men on DVD. This show is dangerous. Here's why:
- It's a good show, and addictive. I don't need another television show addiction.
- It fervently promotes smoking all day long, wherever you want, in the company of everyone. This is a world I would be disgustingly comfortable in. It promotes this in the following ways:
- Everyone in the show smokes all day long, wherever they want (office, house, train, restaurant, grocery store, etc.), in the company of everyone (wives, husbands, neighbors, kids, parents, clients, boss, etc.)
- Everyone who smokes looks awesome while doing it.
- They keep their cigarettes in nifty little contraptions all around their houses and offices. Like they're party treats.
- They smoke out of cool looking old packages.
- It fervently promotes drinking all day long, wherever you want, in the company of everyone. Literally. These motherfuckers pour themselves an Old Fashioned the minute they walk into their offices in the morning, and continue all day long.
- NOW I WANT TO SMOKE CIGARETTES AND DRINK ALL DAY EVERY DAY. And wear a suit. And slick my hair back.
Anyway, it's a really good show. I'm going to get a beer. Later.
haha...enjoy your beer. ;) but try your hardest not to drink all day long....i know its appealing and what not...but im just looking out for ya ;)
ReplyDeleteagain, enjoy your beer!
smoking is gross, but the costumes in that show are awesomeee!
ReplyDeleteI know these things. They just make it look cool. And if you want to know, after writing this last night, I did have a beer. And then a cup of tea and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I will never be cool.
ReplyDeleteI hear tons of great things about this show. Guess I should watch it soon.
