[speechless] We were actually talking about this photo at an editor's meeting. Well, I was. The manlets' eyes just kind of glazed over.
Style Buzz When you get tired of pretending to be Max, you can pretend you're an ad exec from the '60s. Only $998! Oppressive social mores not included (or are they built into the price tag?).
Double X and Slate V experiment to see how much work they could get done if they drank as much as the guys from Mad Men do in the middle of the day.
Warning: minor Mad Men spoilers (though not really, when out of context). It's even better than Pete Campbell dancing, trust me.
Don and Betts will be making a special appearance on Monday's Oprah, which will feature people smoking on her show for the first time. Of course there won't actually be smoking. There will be audience members dressing up, but it will still be weird to see those two in civilian clothing.
TV Buzz Meet the 9-year-old who plays Sally Draper! She gave an interview on the AMC website, and it's incredibly charming, even if her publicist wrote it. I choose to believe otherwise. Yay kidz.
Let's take it even further. Mad Men in 2 Seconds: “We all have secrets, Don. Let's smoke indoors.” Done.

See the modern-day, real-life counterparts to your fave ad men in this comparison by Fast Company. Sadly, whore moms, accidental births and secretly induced heart attacks not noted.
TV Buzz A “cultural catalogue” of the ads, paintings, places, and news events referenced in The Greatest TV Show Of Our Time ™. I now have some intellectual facts about tentacle porn for the lunch table.
TV Buzz Inspired by the news that Sesame Street will parody Mad Men in its upcoming 40th anniversary season, we've decided to step in and do a little casting this morning. Here's five, but even more on Flavorwire.

Finally available: Season 2 of Mad Men, currently TV's best drama.
In case you did not read above: SPOILER! SPOILER! Do not click if you do not want to know things about the third season of the greatest show ever (that's right, Wire people, what's up).
Style Buzz Mad Men creator Matt Weiner not only created a hit TV show, but also a future fashion icon. His eight-year old son, Arlo (named after Arlo Guthrie), is already causing a stir. The second grader wears bow ties, top hats, and was once followed down the street by Beck who was “taken by his head-to-toe plaid.” GQ calls Arlo's style “part Oliver Twist, part Royal Tenenbaums,” and I think he's absolutely dapper. Mad Men childrens' wear coming soon to an overpriced boutique near you!

There's now a Mad Men spoof called Meshugene Men where a Jewish ad agency in the 60s tries to come up with a way to sell mayo to god's chosen people. Amy Sedaris makes a cameo!
A couple of the junior Mad Men stopped by The Soup to talk about their Golden Globe win. And for no immediately obvious reason, they brought LeVar Burton with them. (Not that you NEED a reason for LeVar Burton. I would bring him with me everywhere if I could.)
From the look of this photo set, it seems that Mad Men's January Jones only has one facial expression. Seriously, she gives the Season Two Betty Draper sulk in every single shot. What face will she make when Betty actually gets over her issues? Or is that hoping too much from Mad Men?

Is serial slavish critical devotion to a revolving set of shows — from Sopranos to The Wire to Mad Men — a sign of the shallowness of our cultural discourse, or our deep need to connect? I love think pieces about TV, and also Mad Men is so totally awesome, you should really watch it!
This kid really, really wants you to buy that Kodak Carousel. He even slicked his hair back to impress you. I wish his parents had given him a tumbler of grape juice or something.
