Dad kicked in the head by a horse, Mom was a ho, died giving birth to him. He grew up in a hohaus.
His Wang has a mind of its own.
Yeah, he’s a train wreck. And don’t get him on the subject of Hershey chocolate bars!
:-O
Hopefully he’ll get his stuff together.

It’s easier to understand a fictional character being weighed down by living a lie than it is to watch someone we know is hiding his past and doesn’t seem to care....you know who I mean. :-)

I recently started watching Mad Men on the Netflix streaming. I like the Netflix streaming because there are no commercials and you can stop in the middle of a show and continue watching a day or even a week later. Netflix remembers exactly where you left off!

Anyway, I've been avoiding Mad Men because I assumed it was one of those shows geared towards women and that it was more of a soap opera than a drama.

What it actually is is a "period piece" from the 1960s. The producers of the show go to extreme lengths to recreate the culture of a Madison Avenue advertising firm in the 1960s and I like how current events of the day are woven into the plot of the show. I think it is very well done. Even though most of the characters are not very nice people, I find much in common with the Don Draper and Peggy Olson characters. Neither of them belong in that "privileged" environment but both of them are ambitious in their own ways and despite their character flaws, they both started with nothing, made their own success on their own terms, and are not looking for anybody to hand them anything.
