And in related news, Mint Advertising (of which I am part owner) produces self-promo commercials specifically to run on Season 3 of "Mad Men" in local NJ cable systems.
See them online at: www.mintadvertising.com]

I have watched that clip before a client presentation to get psyched up.

Couple of notes for the folks who haven't watched much Mad Men:
1. Don Draper is married to a gorgeous woman, yet is a notorious philanderer. Women cannot resist him and vice versa. And so this slideshow that he put together is telling the story the beautiful veneer of the life he's created, but we (and he) know that it's a sham. Or maybe it's a reflection of how things were (and how he'd like them to be again)?
2. Harry, the guy in the front of the room who walks out at the end recently cheated on his wife, with a secretary in the office (not his). Hildy, the woman who he has this one night stand with, is IMHO, smoking hot. Yes, my wife (who is also not unattractive) knows I have a crush on Julie McNiven. It may actually exceed my crush on the woman who plays Don's wife, January Jones.

There are exceptions, like the pre-Bangle 5 and 7 series, the M1 and the pre-war 328. But even ones that looked great at the time, like the 1600, Bavaria, 3.0 and even the 507 (all of which are still magnificent designs) now seem very much locked into their time, and not at all timeless.

Don Draper would not drive a Bimmer...certainly not a 3 series. But, if he did go Propellerhead, it would be for a 503

But AMC? Yes! They dropped the "Movie Classics" concept long ago and with Mad Men and Breaking Bad are doing limited by excellent original dramas. Check them out.

I know ROGNBROW in London watched "Mad Men" season 2 just a month or two after it wrapped up in the States, 'cause we would discuss episodes on Facebook.
