I seriously fear for Peggy. After her "Don't be scared for me. I will be fine." speech last week and her probably Crazy Town, U.S.A. future roommate (as well as Joan arguably out-copywriting her on her roommate ad)... they are maybe setting her up for bad times ahead, and it makes me awfully nervous.
Dear Mad Men writers: I beg of you, don't give us "I'm Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana" and then tear her apart. (Unless you are going to have her bounce back bigger, badder, and more Peggy-rific.)
we have to snail-mail it along, commenter to commenter. we each scribble our comment in the margins. then, as it gets passed along, pluses and minuses accumulate next to the comments. this process happens a few times so people can comment on comments and vote on the new comments, etc.... then eventually gabe gets it back and tallies the votes. we would get one monster's ball every 2 years. MAKE IT COUNT PEOPLE!
It's all about context, man. The Hitler comparison makes absolutely no sense in this context, unless I am totally missing something. I mean, it's always kind of stupid to just yell out HITLER in a debate.
"I want all Americans to have basic coverage for themselves and their children."
"HITLER! HITLER HITLER!"
"Oh, well if you put it that way..."
But the protests against Bush's Patriot Act, wiretapping, prisoner abuse, lying about reasons for war, etc. etc. etc..... are not the same as a town hall meeting on health care reform.
Most Democrats have been letting the crazies drown out all rational discussion on health care for too long now. You go, Barney Frank. (And I do not mean to imply that all people who have issues/questions about health care reform are crazy. But the people holding up Obama=Hitler posters and yelling nonsense and bringing rifles and handguns to rallies... you are crazy.)
Obama won't commit to mangoes?! This is outrageous! Just like a socialist, to deny our American children mangoes and french fries for lunch. What is this, Russia??
"Hey guys, the vampire politics are taking up too much screen time. What else can we do?"
"You know, I was just thinking this show needs more orgies."
"YES! Orgies and zombie-like sex and and boobs and penises everywhere and people slapping each other repeatedly then fucking. IT'S ALL PERFECT!"
High fives all around. It's sure never going to get old. (It's old, guys).
He keeps it topical, you guys. Fresh and new. I sure do hope he's the first guest on Jay Leno's new show. All that freshness and newness will surely make it a number one hit. Am I right guys???
Did anyone else have to watch a different trailer before being able to watch this trailer? In the future, will we have to watch 5 trailers to watch the one trailer you want? Fun times.
We know the community embraces him in the end because the kids eventually let him push them on the swings. What a poetic image. Written by a 5 year old.
