By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising...kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I'm doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan's little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show.
Seriously, I know the marketing people: 'There's gonna be a joke comin' up.' There's no fuckin' joke. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself...borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something...rid the world of your evil fuckin' presence.
and 'Don Draper' is a pretender that couldn't live his own life so he stole someonelses. An opportunist. Dick Whitman wakes up and he's Don Draper in a completely falsified life. Those deadbeats, the most part, at least wake up to their own identity. There is no moral high ground for either party to take here. Don Draper is a great character but face facts. He's a phony and those beats have him pegged like Draper has them pegged. At least those deadbeats wake up to their own lives.
@doucheberry To be fair though, and to clarify, Dick Whitman didn't just "decide" he wanted a different life. He managed to find a way to get out of the war. Opportunistic? Yes. But it wasn't because he suddenly one day just WANTED to be someone else... And did you watch seasons 1 and 2? His life frickin' sucked. It's easy to be a beatnik; nobody expects anything of you. You get to walk around on the fringe of society and act like you've got everything all figured out.
In a world where marajuana usage, promiscuity and NIEOTing (Not in education or training) is still very much socially unacceptable and frowned upon by the vast majority - The bearded hippie immediately assesses Dons character and sees a very tolerant, though not bullshitable man. He then states 'We're going to get high and listen to Miles'. Epic.
The parts of Mad Men that I like most are when Don meets people with completely different morals and values who really question Don's work and even existence. Whenever Don has to defend himself and understands that it doesn't work to sell the American Dream to these people he has to escape by either pointing at the universal corruptness and apathy of the human species, or go on a personal attack on whoever is questioning him.
@SolarEXtract This isn't a "baked thought", it is an accurate depiction of the world made by a rational man. He destroys the fatalistic hippy worldview that the world is designed to be against them, thus excusing them from exerting effort to make something of their pitiful existence.

The part when they look out the window when they hear police sirens, was that a reference to Kitty Genovese?
