Mad Men: Apparently, Mad Men ran an extra cool promo in Advertising Age where the back 12 pages were like a 1960 issue with Sterling-Cooper featured.
Here is the feature.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Cool! Can't wait for the new season.
Do we know if they're picking right up from the last episode, or if they've moved a little further down the timeline?

Hec, I read that they are going two (?) years in the future; something like that.

Interesing, Frank! I'd kind of hoped that. Partly because I really want to see Hamm with late sixties sideburns and a groovy 'stache. So in about three more seasons, I reckon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Frank's whitefont is confirmed in the MONGO HUGEASS AWESOME NYT article here: [link] (which also has many other nice tidbits, if no big spoils).

Heh. One article I read (I think it was in EW) said they hadn't decided which way to go with Draper yet - would he go with the times and embrace change, or would he be one of those who tries to keep with the old status quo past its prime.

In other MM news, I need a talking down. I pre-ordered the DVDs as soon as they were announced. And then they announced plans for Blu-Ray after the big format shakedown, so I cancelled the DVDs and ordered Blu-Ray instead. But I only just remembered about the nifty Zippo-lighter packing for the DVDs, which doesn't appear to exist for the Blu-Ray, and I am sad, but I don't actually want both sets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
AMC is having a contest for a walk-on on Mad Men, but you have to send them an "audition" clip. [link]
