Hello. kdiddy here, filling in for Sweetney for this week's Mad Men open thread. I am pleased that no limbs were lost during this week's episode. However, the general WTF theme of this season was going strong. There are two overall things that I want to address before we get into the meat of this...

2009-09-28T14:00:00-04:00

Authored by super special guest contributor and honorary MamaPop Bestard, Plaid Horse Ever want to play an action movie? Now you can. Despite the unfortunate name, Wet (short for Wetwork) is not a first person shooter of the Girls Gone Wild variety.

Dead dead death. George O'Malley is dead. But we knew that already because we knew TR Knight quit. But sometimes you know your grandma has cancer. And then she dies. Did knowing she had cancer soften the blow? No. Oh, George. What will I do? Will I wail in agony? Will I act like nothing...

2009-09-28T11:59:00-04:00

Remember Justin Guarini? He was that guy in the first season of American Idol with The Hair. Justin Guarini was prettier than Kelly Clarkson, but she won, because even though he was pretty, he was only a mediocre performer, and she was Kelly Clarkson. Anyway, he got married.

Hey Disney! Put That Coffee Down!

2009-09-28T11:00:00-04:00

It's hard to believe that the heart-warming tale of Nazis hunting down and killing Jewish children could ever be made into something morbid and horrifying. Normally Nazi...

Oh dear. It's happened to the best of us, right? Sometimes the ol' F bomb just falls out of our mouths, and there's no taking it back. Well, at least it wasn't live on national television, right? THAT would be embarrassing, and woo boy, it's not like it happened live on national television on our...
