KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! I am SICK of hearing armies of typists drooling over Mad Men. This show has an audience of between 900,000 and 2 MILLION -- and it's run only 32 episodes total, yet all the hacks must bang us over the head with it as though Lucy Ricardo is expecting. After THE GREATEST CULTURAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE LAST QUARTER CENNNTURY we should be used to the promo artists showing off their lack of taste, but why must it leave our forehead full of WELTS?

And in more proof ad-blurbists do nothing but promote:

When Ratings And Viewers Don't Matter, What Does?

Why of course: YOUR brilliance, YOUR self-esteem, the fact that YOU live in an age of ARTISTIC GREATNESS -- in short, YOU!



A NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD TO ALEX!

P. S. Judging from Jamie -- JAMES'S typing the show is essentially a HIP soap opera. But THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT was also something of a soap opera. How did the ad-blurbists get to be such big fans of SOAP OPERAS?

P. P. S. SUPERNIKKI!!!!! sez "women make up 7 of the 9-member writing staff". NUF SAID.

(Audience figure corrected 11:40 a. m. The WIK's article is natch longer than MILLARD FILLMORE'S or JAMES BUCHANAN'S. I don't care how bad they were as presidents -- look when they served. WIKI MORONS.)
