Mad Men


They taught us at Barnard about that word, "utopia." The Greeks had two meanings for it: eu-topos, meaning "the good place," and ou-topos, meaning "the place that cannot be."

I've heard some people say that Mad Men glorifies bigotry. I've heard others argue that it critiques chauvinism, racism, and all of those other pesky -isms. Also homophobia. Which one do you prefer? Just watch Mad Men already.
