2011 TV Thread
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 7, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) Yeah, that is probably the weirdest episode in the entire series thus far. I think they like to stress just how self-centered and self-indulgent Don Draper can be. The whole thing with the neighborhood boy Glen really weirds me out. Yeah when Betty found him hiding and invited him in the house I was starting to get very uncomfortable.

You read the book while taking classes for your advanced degree?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 7, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) Let me ask this in reply...(i may lose this argument in everyone's eyes but I'm going down fighting).../ Is there any situation where a parent (pick their race) would be justified in not wanting their child reading this book based solely on the language? Justified? Not IMO.

This reminds me of people wanting to cover the genitals of nude art pieces. EDIT: But then again, if the bible can be edited and manipulated a million times then why not Huck Finn?
