" Someone over at Uproxx has pointed out a rather chilling connection in the latest episodes of Mad Men. It turns out Megan Draper was wearing a t-shirt that happens to be the same sort of t-shirt that Sharon Tate, murdered actress and wife of Roman Polanski, wore in a 1967 photo shoot for this very magazine. (See the original photo, which we dug up in the office archives today, at left. It accompanies an article outlining the major Communist teachings of Mao Zedong&amp;#039;s Little Red Book. No, that&amp;#039;s not a joke.) The original photographer&amp;#039;s daughter noticed the resemblance and asked a Mad Men designer about it on Twitter. The designer confirmed it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;no coincidence.&amp;quot; In other words: Mad Men wants to make Megan look like Sharon Tate. The theories this prompts are mind-boggling and enough to send any true Mad Men fan (and/or reader of Manson crime epic Helter Skelter) up a wall, which is why Uproxx labels it, maybe justly, the &amp;quot;greatest&amp;quot; Mad Men theory ever. Is creator Matt Weiner simply trying to make Megan look &amp;quot;California&amp;quot;? Will she be victimized in any serious way this season, or next? (Tate was murdered in 1969.) Will ... Don Draper kill Megan? That seems a little grim for Mad Men \u2014 this isn&amp;#039;t Breaking Bad, after all \u2014 and the truth is Weiner and co. tend to drop these Easter eggs in the show as deliberate red herrings to keep guessers off track (remember when season five was supposed to be The One About Race?), so any obvious predictions may be way off the mark. Still: kinda creepy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
