Over at America, they have a very good dissection of my favorite TV series “Mad Men,” and I discovered that a lot of the best clips from the show are available on YouTube.

The one below is, to my mind, a television classic, wherein the protagonist, the enigmatic Don Draper, has been assigned to come up with an ad campaign for a new product from Kodak: a slide projector that everybody calls “The Wheel.” Draper, however, sees in it something else, and uses the raw material of his own haunted, troubled, conflicted life to create something akin to poetry. Here is his pitch to the people from Kodak.

The result is an iconic American product of the 1960s, seen in a startling new way.
