Tall poppy syndrome?? I can see where you are confused, after all flowers are sometimes mistaken for weeds. Maybe it’s tall lantana sydnrome… by the way who uses the expression “me thinks’ outside of shakespearean plays… Forsooth methinks it be a Sampsonite

Serious case of tall poppy syndrome me thinks

Remember guys its a TV show that has to be entertaining to survive. Similar to Gordon Ramsay in his shows,both Todd and Russell have to say things that are provocative and or entertaining otherwise it would be a dull show

Scary that the actor is less desperate to be a ‘celebrity’.

Don Draper’s hair at least is great when he’s on TV. Todd’s is woeful all the time.

And, going by last night 17/4 ep of Gruen Todd doesnt like advertsing or capitalism. [ next year it will be the Gruen Seachange]

I’d say the Mumbrella audience will be enough to tip Mad Men over-the-line.

That’s right Tim. Your hypnotic, strobing Mad-Men ads have done the trick. I’m tuning in. Okay?

Please turn them off now, my eyes are watering and I feel dizzy.

Don Draper is an adman.
He’s not in the business of advertising, he’s in the business of selling.
Need I go on?

Todd Samson is great, but I reckon he will lose to Mad Men tonight. Luckily Gruen Transfer is on Wednesdays as well. How about the good old Johnny Rotten last night? Wasn’t he just great delivering that ad with his english charm and attitude? I wish we had that butter here in Oz,.. what ever the brand was…
