Many die-hard fans are bemoaning the end of Mad Men, a show which followed the personal and professional escapades of top-tier advertising exec, family man and all-around alpha male, Don Draper.
Luckily for the fans, some kind soul on the Internet has begun 'Mad Men Integrated': a blog which re-imagines Mad Men as if it were set in the hyper-digital world of present-day. The words "Hashtag" and "Don Draper" seem so diametrically opposed, it's comical to see, making 'Mad Men Integrated' a super entertaining blog to browse. Of course, had Draper been in the 21st century, there's no doubt he would have had tons of social media-savvy.
So remember Mad Men fans: Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!
