    THIS is what I was trying to explain to my mom's douche-y conservative boyfriend. He didn't know how we as a society could "instill motivation in historically underachieving populations." I tried explaining that when I was little I never saw any women's names in any of my textbooks and that's pretty fucking discouraging. But it is so awesome to think that some of these kids might see themselves in places they didn't think were possible even two years ago. #barackobamaneworleans

    I hope that this show continues for several more seasons, because if it gets to 1969, Bryan Adams can get involved.

    Full blown pan-office conflict surely. Feminism, the civil rights movement, homosexuality, drug experimentation and hair gel starts getting used much more openly and creatively. Most real life advertisers in 2009 haven't yet caught up for Christ's sake.

    Didn't the one junior account manager (the writer that Sal likes) date/ go to the south with a black woman to fight for integration? I wish that storyline hadn't just fallen apart with her leaving him...

    @Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I think they dropped it largely to make the point that Kinsey saw it as a one time/"look at how socially aware" thing and this actually MEANT something to her. Kinsey's a bit of a douchebag.

    Lupron is neither new, nor is it a cure for autism. Hooray!


    It is, however, good for a number of other things outside of sex offenders (seriously, that's what we're linking this drug to?): hormone responsive cancers (like some breast and prostate cancers), precocious puberty, gender identity disorders (a temporary treatment--it blocks hormone production, basically, so it gives young teens with GID time to work out what they want to do before puberty starts), IVF, and possibly mild Alzheimer's disease.

    I just graduated from Barnard, and Hillary was AMAZING. All of us were screaming our heads off when she first walked out. Her speech really was a memorable one, and I feel so lucky that she was my commencement speaker.

    That "doctor" advocating the "miracle cure" for autism is a total quack. What he's doing is very dangerous for the children on those regimens. He has some bogus theory that autism is caused by mercury that binds to testosterone, and somehow the Lupron, by blocking testosterone production, will eliminate the (usually non-existent) mercury. In reality, Lupron is a very strong, very dangerous drug, and does nothing positive for autistic children. Basically, Mark Geier is like Jenny McCarthy on autism, but way worse, because he is actually treating children with harmful, powerful drugs that have no proven medical efficacy in autism cases. I am really sad to see this kind of thing reported by gullible news sources as a "miracle cure".


    The following link is to a blog with more information on who Mark Geier is and what is wrong with his so-called Lupron protocol:
