The virtues of Mad Men
Last time I was criticizing the way Mad men handled the sexual attitudes of Roger Sterling. It's not that I think Roger is without faults, it's that they have given him the wrong ones. They have projected more contemporary bad behaviour back into the past. Roger acts more like some 1970s rock star or a 2010 guy in dorm.
The same is true for the two women. They act more like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan putting on a show for the boys and photographers outside an LA nightclub than was typical of the early 1960s.
