9/11 Echoes Stronger as 'Mad Men' Ads Hit Building Sides

Teaser ads for Season 5 of Mad Men, showing a falling man on a stark white background above the AMC show's premiere date, have been criticized for evoking 9/11 ever since they first appeared on New York bus shelters and in subways in January. The outcry is getting even more vocal now that the campaign has moved to building sides—a more blatant visual echo of the events of that morning. Families of 9/11 victims are responding in different ways—some are offended by the ads, some aren't, some are offended by the media wondering if they're offended.
