Mithun Divakaran — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:56:16 +0000

We love 'Mad Men,' but a drama about boozy ad execs set against the backdrop of the early 1960s isn't exactly fun subject material for a video game. Nonetheless, YouTube's FineBros have made an interactive video series which puts you in the shoes of Don Draper as he sets out to fulfill an objective given by fellow drunkard Roger Sterling. Everything get's the 8-bit graphic makeover - even the in-game drinking.

'Mad Men' returned for its fifth season on Sunday night. Not only has a lot changed for the folks at Sterling Cooper Draper Price during their 17 month TV hiatus, but a lot has changed for those of us in the real world.

Take Barack Obama, for example. 17 months ago, the President wasn't thinking about Mitt Romney or raising gas prices. But now those are just some of the challenges on his plate. With that in mind, Will Rabbe offers his take on the iconic 'Mad Men' opening sequence, but with Obama in the place of Don Draper.

Jane Lynch opened the 63rd Emmy Awards with a song and dance number that took the audience through the world of television, reimagined as an inner-city apartment building housing all the top TV shows.
