SIT DOWN, SHUT THE DOOR: So, apparently, LionsGate is hoping to broaden the Mad Men brand, judging from their trademark application. Some of the things make a lot of sense--"men's suits," "cuff links," "cigarette lighter holder," "beverageware." Others raise eyebrows--"computer game programs," "action figures," "stickers." Yes--your very own Don Draper action figure. Push the button, and he says nothing.

    Shouldn't that be, 'Push his buttons, and he pounds back the scotch, and seduces the nearest Barbie'...

    I see they didn't claim copyright for the Joan Halloran Japanese Moe Body Pillow. See you all later. I have me some prototyping to do.

    Are the stickers scratch and sniff, in scents like Lucky Strikes, scotch, hair cream, and bitter disappointment?

    Also, is it me, or are they are missing a huge John Deere marketing opportunity...
