Falling man

Do you not consider this graphic questionable as it was based on an image from 9/11. Article was in esquire magazine. Know as "the falling man." Was intentionally used on Mad Men for what it represented. Did you research the artwork?http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a12565/falling-mad-man-6648672/

    The man falling in the Mad Men titles is a nod to the titles Saul Bass did for Vertigo.

    This is not a wall graphic, it is a projection TV screen.

    I was unaware of the article you are referencing. The image on the wall is a projection TV system that happened to be playing Mad Men when the project was being photographed.

    Take a pill Judith, it's not a reference to 911 at all and never was. The falling man image was intended as an omage to the poster for Hitchcock's Vertigo and a metaphor for Don Draper's life spiralling out of control.
