I’m not a believer in any sort of afterlife. I think you die and you rot (happy Monday!). Still, the thought of one day being nothingness terrifies the f out […]
Mad Men is the most masculine show on tv. Last night’s episode, “Signal 30” (click here to watch via Amazon), contained no less than the following:
- Lane Pryce living the dream that we’ve all had since episode one and beating up that little shit Pete Campbell in the office. (Note to the ethnics: Despite what was portrayed in this scene, white guys don’t actually fight in this manner anymore.)
- Don Draper drunkenly slurring in his wife’s ear “Let’s make a baby” (or something to that effect) to get her to pull over long enough to bang. When you look like Don Draper, you can say things like, “Tonight, I’ve decreed you worthy of my seed” and it works.
- The aforementioned smarmy Pete Campbell spitting game at a 16-year-old (she did have the ass of a thoroughbred, which makes it forgivable) in his driver’s ed class even with a wife and newborn waiting for him at home.
- Lane Pryce reacting to winning the aforementioned fisticuffs with Pedro by grabbing and making out with the office prize (pictured above).
Ladies, if you want to know how real men think, watch Mad Men. We want to be conquerors in our professional lives. We want to get drunk and blow wads in you like cavemen. We want to smite our foes with our fists, then grab the girl with the biggest tits in the room and shove our tongue down her throat. In five seasons, Mad Men has never sounded a false note. And “Signal 30” contained some of its truest tones yet. Get me a steak and a hooker, goddammit.

I love Ad Men because it gives an atuarcce look at the way advertising once was. It shows the glory days The days of David Ogilvy and Turner. When advertising was more of an art than a quick joke about a baby falling. Its when advertising was real When the ultimately goal was always linked to persuasion. Whether or not you choose me as the winner or not doesn’t matter You see, I’m not trying to sell you Jesus. This is either in your heart or it isn’t.
