lol network news.

I'd heard those were only running about a million dollars.

This makes mine and my friends' D.A.R.E. parody video, Methbusters, look…well, I guess exactly as bad as it was.

I comment; therefore, I am.

That's kind of brilliant. Having gone through that sort of existential "untangling" over the past few years myself—identity crisis and all—you put it into words better than I've been able to.

I like the second one a lot. Though I can't believe my incredibly lazy not-even pun doesn't hold up to the internet's scrutiny. It's like, woe, you guys, what's even the point?

Just say "woe" instead. Problem solved!

I'll go to bat for The Story of Film: an Odyssey. I've been watching an episode maybe every other day for the past couple of weeks, and it's very interesting (and I wouldn't consider myself a film buff; it's been my first exposure to even some of his more well-known references). That being said, good luck trying to…

WASTED

I violently vomited an entire can of barely-digested Beef-a-Roni when I was in 5th grade, and I haven't taken a bite of any can-based pasta products since. So I'm not sure that's the best plan.

That's interesting. I'm having trouble imagining knowing only the 1960 version of this world and jumping straight to 1970.

Jim Hobart clearly has wet dreams about Don Draper. That pitch probably killed him.

Not for Don Draper!

Exactly. Plus I think the fact that his life in general had become so aimless made him not able to see past the corporate drudgery at first. We'd already seen that he was willing to try to make it work, but as soon as Bill Phillips started describing the super-specific everyman (the antithesis of what Don does in…

Hasn't AOL been bought by like 8 or 9 different companies at this point?

Exactly. I'm a Millennial, but I'm not a hipster, even though I probably have some of the traits of one just because the same society produced us.

Now that I think about it, their roles kind of reversed over the series. Harry started out as just one of the affable youngish employees, and Pete was the prick who thought the world owed him everything. There was a pretty good stretch where they were both insufferable assholes, but Pete definitely managed to turn…
