    About Mad Men

    By saying it should be required viewing for any Pussycat Dolls tryouts you opened up the door to a whole slew of groups that probably should be required to see it. Let me suggest one: the whole American public so they can see what the republican party is trying to turn us into. Contrary to popular opinion, these people are still obsessed with dragging America kicking and screaming back to the days when women knew their place and men were the sole bread winners. I live in the bible belt, trust me, this stereotype is still true. Couple that with the overwhelming corporate greed required to make ads for crap you know is harmful and may not even believe in, and you have a perfect example of the modern marketplace.
