For Mad Men fans, you must check out Mark Lisanti’s weekly power rankings on how the show’s characters up or lower their status in the Mad Men tribe. They are all so funny — but I thought this one worthy of a requote:
Sally Draper PatricideWatch: As Betty offered some motherly advice about how her daughter mishandled the Ernie-in-the-tub situation (“You’re going to have a lot of first kisses. You’re going to want it to be special, so you’ll remember. It’s where you go from being a stranger to knowing someone. And every kiss with them after that is a shadow of that kiss”), Sally’s eyes seemed to glaze over, disappointed that Mommy didn’t end her speech with, “And then after you get to know that person in that special way, and they’re under your spell, they’ll help you kill Daddy. You can’t depend on the idiot brother of yours to get the job done, honey.”
Mad Men Power Rankings are not to be missed. I kind of knew Pete Campbell was going to go up, but I’m also kind of glad to see Joan now making a major play by helping Pete Campbell cheat on his wife.
