The Gay Black Don Draper

Ne-Yo's video for "Miss Independent", you guys:

I don't think anyone told Ne-Yo that Mad Men was a show set in the '60s and that that's not what offices are like anymore. He just saw an episode in his tour bus one night and was like "Phew, I am so glad I escaped the rat race." The shoot took forever because the director kept instructing Ne-Yo to look like he was hard at work in his office, so Ne-Yo would kick his feet up on the desk, light a cigarette, and be really racist and sexist while discussing the ins and outs of marketing to Jews for forty five minutes.

Also this video would be a lot funnier if at the end he said "What did the boss have in mind?" and she fired him.

Best article title ever?

(But I was secretly hoping it was a spoiler for a new Mad men storyline)

Is it sad I thought this was going to be some Kelly Clarkson cover?
