George Wins!

George wins! He wins because he is smart and has been paying attention. And no one else tried. George says of the rest of you, "...it's not very fulfilling to know no one else even tried. Maybe the advanced level of the questions scared them away. "

So the advanced copy DVDs go to him while the average viewer must wait until July. Congratulations George!

Oh, and thank you for enjoying the quiz with me, George.

Don is a Doll

A bobble head doll, to be specific. Someone has immortalized both Don Draper and Joan Holloway as bobble head dolls. It's amusing if not somewhat disconcerting. Don's bobble head would make an interesting pair with Dwight Shrute for anyone who is going for an office-related collection of miniatures for their desk.
