Hey ad students, if you want to feel bad about yourself and your chosen profession, tune in to Mad Men, AMC's new show about the ad world in the 60's. Sexual exploits, corruption, sleazy salesmen: what's not to love?
I haven't actually seen the show yet (debuted last week) but I've heard it's not bad. Would love to know people's thoughts on it, particularly anyone was around during that era.
Update: Speaking of people around during that era, there's a TV spot that shows that old-timers (60+) can still work and thrive in todays agencies at Duncans TV and here.

I know a copywriter in Chicago who's 69 and still going strong. In fact, he was at DDB when Keith Reinhard was still a CD.
I don't know if I'm allowed to share his stories...

This show is awesome.
Pregnant smoking & boozing, philandering, pommade by the gallonful.
A perfect mirror of my life.
