AMC's hit show "Mad Men" has a controversial ad for their fifth season premier. Many believe that their ad brings back bad memories of 9/11. In the ad they show a man wearing a dark colored suit falling through the sky with a white background. Many people say that the ad reminds them of September 11th when many businessmen were forced to jump out of the Twin Towers. Directors deny the similarities and say that it is symbolic of the main character's troubled life.

Do you think the directors made this controversial ad to increase recognition and buzz over the premier? Is this an example of marketing gone too far?
