As are the anti-Semitism, racism, and homophobia. But it's set in 1960.
Yeah, it's clear one of the copywriters is gay and in the closet. I was born in '61 but I do still remember much of that culture growing up.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Art Crawl!!!
And some think that Draper is actually Jewish -- well there was that' Moses comment in episode 2 (I think).

That cracked my ass up. When they were talking about "death wish" and he said, "As if anyone would live their lives one way and really think something else!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Also a little overdone. Good grief. But I give the show slack. One of Bob's improv acquaintances moved out to LA to do the show-- he plays the married copywriter.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Freaky airbrushed baby photo
Well, no wonder! I mean, sure, the baby on the left is totally adorable and twinkly and all, but you can totally tell that she's human. I bet she blurps up a feed every now and then and occasionally smells and her poor parents are having to potty train her and everything. She's a gross little stinky carbon-based life form. Who wouldn't prefer the plasticine perfection on the right?

In my defense, I'm in a bit of a "boys are weird and I do. not. get. them. at. all." place.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The baby on the right gets her brows waxed.
So many babies neglect that.

That would make sense. Everybody's hiding something. I want to get his military backstory. Something horrific, no doubt. Guadalcanal, maybe. U.S.S. Indianpolis? Liberate the death camps?

Which one? The pipe smoker? Or Draper?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So many babies neglect that.
Girl babies forgetting to wax their brows is what makes boy babies grow up gay.
