Mad Men-style Falling into Dublin Bay of the Day

Looks like this guy had a slightly softer landing than Don Draper.

MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE the new series of Mad Men starts tonight, but when we saw this photo on the right we were immediately reminded of just one thing: the show’s opening credits.

The photo on the right was taken earlier today at Bull Island in Dublin as Ian Bedford from Artane made the most of the good weather and jumped into Dublin Bay.

The one on the left is from the opening credits of the hit show as a man falls helplessly from an office building past advertisements, before eventually ending up in a nice chair with a good glass of Scotch.

Both of those options sound pretty good to us, frankly…
