Fake Don Draper (in my book, the only real fake Draper), in response to the dust-up over Mad Men fan fiction in Twitter
I like the idea of Draper calling out the writers of this shitty fan fiction not for infringement of intellectual property, but for artistic ineptitude. (Have you looked at it? I’d rather read Obama’s boring-ass intern-scribed Twitter.)
That’s what Don Draper has done.
NOTE: I, however, am not Draper. Therefore, I will accept that there may be qualities of this fan fiction project that, while meaningful to many fans of the authorized work of fiction, is out of my grasp as an appreciator, and will henceforth refrain from ascribing it fecal properties. Love me.
