Mad Men goes shark jumping.
Say it ain’t so, Matthew Weiner! First Sal gets the axe for having some scruples, now this? Everyone’s (okay, only the 2 million of us with good taste) favorite show, Mad Men, has gotten the Sesame Street treatment. In the short segment, Don Draper (a daper Guy Smiley) teaches two of his underlings a lesson about Mad vs. Sad. While the whole exercise make me a bit sad, I’ll admit I was pretty surprised to hear the word “sycophant,” thrown into the segment. Maybe back when I was a toddler they threw those sort of 10-cent words into the sketches, too, and it just went over my head.
Stay tuned for Episode 2 staring the newest Sesame Street character: Whisky Monster (“M is for Maker’s…”)
