Essay 4424


The latest episode of AMC series Mad Men presented two Black men—together in a single scene! The elevator attendant returned, joined in the car by a mop-pushing janitor. There was even brief dialogue, with the elevator attendant apologizing to Campbell for the delayed ride. Plus, the janitor spied Campbell and Peggy having sex in the office.

Later, Draper visited his mistress and partied with her dope-smoking friends. The hipster group included a Black woman. How edgy!

At an after-work gathering, agency employees squealed and twisted to Chubby Checker.

And to round out the diversity, art director Salvatore Romano rejected a gay romance.

MultiCultClassics proclaims AMC series Mad Men as “The Shit of the Year.”
