He apologizes to someone? Ok everybody, David Spade apologizes to the ONE PERSON who was offended by these totally awesome ads. We can all go home now, it's cool.

Whoops, I meant DirecTV, obvs. Gotta maintain the integrity of this wonderful company by making sure we spell their wonderful name correctly.

I'm surprised that this is the first DirctTv ad that's making people angry. Remember when Naomi Watts was an oscar nominated actress who was doing some of the most interesting, dynamic dramatic projects out there? (Mulholland Drive, 21 Grams) and then did a DirectTV ad where King Kong blows wind in her face? Yikes, how about Sigourney Weaver getting airbrushed within an inch of her life to look like Ripley in Aliens again? This David Spade ad is the biggest and most obvious "thing that makes you sad" in a long line of things that have been making me continually sad.

I'm so happy Don left that Manic-Pixie Dreamgirl in the car. She was really wearing my nerves (probably cause they rushed her storyline and failed to make her a real person).

This is the lamest comment of the century, but she's so great. She's just so great.

You hated Magnolia?? Oh man, you're breaking my heart with that one.

I'm liking the show less and less as the season goes on. One thing I loved about the 1st and especially 2nd season was that you had genuine sympathy for ALL the characters, you understood their weaknesses and rooted for them anyway. You even loved Pete in a weird way, and felt all the more devastated when Peggy told him about their child. No such luck this season, as suddenly Don has become a caricature of an Angry Prick. Simply put, there are too many Villains (Don, Rodger), and Victims (Sal, and pretty much all the women on this show), and the divide between them is becoming both predictable and obvious. Also, before we compare Don Draper to Tony Soprano, I need to point out that Tony Soprano was a mob boss, and killed people on a regular basis, so we couldn't have been too surprised when he became hard to like. Don, on the other hand, isn't a sociopath beneath his bad behavior, so I think we're allowed to be frustrated when he becomes increasingly horrible. Also, MORE JOAN PLEASE.

At least Teri Hatcher looks hot.

That quick cut in the school scene made it look like Sally was wiping poop on her face, not blood. (I'm really sorry. I needed to vent about that somewhere.)
