'Mad Men' Star Christina Hendricks Makes Funny Or Die Video Where Her Character Joan Harris Is Transported To Modern Office To Make A Point About Gender Inequality [VIDEO]

Christina Hendricks has made a Funny or Die video about workplace inequality between the genders.  In it she plays her "Mad Men" character Joan Harris goes through a modern office looking for appliances from the 1950's, smoking, makes martini's, and generally does things that aren't acceptable to do in an office anymore. 

The curvaceous 39-year-old hilariously attempts to spool paper through a computer. She also tries to erase a typo with a pencil eraser directly on the monitor.

Christina as Joan then shakes up a martini in the break room while her shocked co-workers watch on.

When someone asks her to go out to lunch, she declines because she brought an unappetizing molded gelatin salad from home.

The best moment came after Harris asks how to fax a document and her colleague shrugs: 'Actually, I don't know.'

The retro-meets-contemporary bit ends with a hard dose of reality as Joan spouts worrying statistics about women in the workplace. Hendricks makes a heartfelt arguement, that it isn't the 50's anymore.
