IRS Still Producing Videos

According to Accounting Today's Michael Cohn, the Internal Revenue Service is still making movies at taxpayers' expense.
Their latest release is a  "Mad Men”-themed continuing professional education video last year featuring an actor patterned after the Don Draper character in the popular AMC cable TV series.
The video has not yet caused much of an uproar like the “Star Trek” and “Gilligan’s Island” parody videos or the “Cupid Shuffle” music dance video that were shown to embarrassed IRS officials and ex-officials in a congressional hearing last week about excessive spending at IRS conferences (see IRS’s Mr. Spock Impersonator Apologizes for Inappropriate Parody and IRS Music Dance Video Released by Congress).
The IRS' acting commissioner, Danny Werfel, has promised to treat taxpayer dollars with a little more respect in the future.
