Mad Men Season 5 Poster Controversy - Falling (Mad) Man, by Tom Junod Esquire: Is the poster for the new season of Mad Men a desecration? Or just how we continue to reckon with 9/11? apoplecticskeptic: Yeah, and I think this is how we should count to 20 from now on: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Also from that article: “Who could not imagine the figure of Barack Obama silhouetted against that limitless white background?” Give me a fucking break. Do you remember that video of the money who is sitting in the tree picking his butt. He pulls something out, smells it, then thows his hands up in the air and falls out of the tree. This reminds me of that. It reminds me of someone pulling shit out of their ass and being surprised that it smells terrible.

Mad Men Season 5 Poster Controversy - Falling (Mad) Man, by Tom Junod

Esquire: Is the poster for the new season of Mad Men a desecration? Or just how we continue to reckon with 9/11?

apoplecticskeptic: Yeah, and I think this is how we should count to 20 from now on:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Also from that article: “Who could not imagine the figure of Barack Obama silhouetted against that limitless white background?”

Give me a fucking break. Do you remember that video of the money who is sitting in the tree picking his butt. He pulls something out, smells it, then thows his hands up in the air and falls out of the tree.

This reminds me of that. It reminds me of someone pulling shit out of their ass and being surprised that it smells terrible.
