When someone rings the Christina Hendricks bell, you know the Pavlovian reaction that ensues. So its no wonder that the hottest office manager to ever lord over the secretarial pool at Sterling Cooper would be making Mad Men junkies drool over a Visa commercial from 1997.
The old spot for the Visa Check Card features a younger, slimmer Hendricks working at a tea-service booth in a futuristic, high-security facility, and speaking with a British accent, as Pierce Brosnan, in his James Bond persona, approaches her to buy some caviar. The appearance of Brosnan and Hendricks in the commercial together makes for an interesting retrospective coincidence, as the two are currently co-starring with Sarah Jessica Parker in the recently-released romantic comedy, I Don't Know How She Does It. (I know. That title.)

I said the same thing in another thread and got called a sock puppet by jr. What the hell?
Actually, you didn't because the real jr doesn't post as "jr" anymore. Although, I do agree with the sock puppet part, which is correct.
It doesn't matter what letters he uses, it's still jr, isn't it, jr? You really are an idiot.
You'll have to do better than that if we're going to pay you $11/hr.
Greg had me there for a minute. Greg?
I'm afraid that Greg has been compromised. The same with Riiiight, anon, and a few others. Oh well, I could be next. It's like jr is some chat room assassin.
Jeff, "comma" is "Greg".
Wrong. God your stupid, jr.
That's a little better. Use "idiot" and "stupid" a lot. Don't be afraid to throw in a little racism once in a while as well. Carry on!
Nice dub over her voice.
Yeah, she's been around for a bit. Just realized the other night that she was a recurring character on the geek-loved, Jose Whedon tv show, "Firefly".
Also a tad thinner then, but had the same glorious, glorious rack on her that made me look up who that was in the first place and... boom!
Funny, I just "discovered" the same thing. She played a character I disliked on Firefly before playing a character I like on Mad Men, which made me want to watch Firefly again. (Any excuse, really.)
Mad Men needs to start airing again soon.
It's actually Q who really makes the commercial. I miss the old guy.
