The Weekly Links: Delta Flies '80s, Mad Men/Benson Mashup, Puma's 1987 Smart Sneaker

It's time once again to reveal the totally rad, totally tubular, and totally awesome stories that make up The Weekly Links! I've decided to start featuring one video each week that will be "TWL Video of the Week." I won't be limiting TWL to just one video, but there always seems to be one that stands above the rest and needs to be honored as such.

This week's video is a safety video by Delta that is an '80s throwback. It features fantastic fashion fads and everything from Alf to Devo. After flying just this past week and hearing the airline safety spiel 4 times, I found it hilarious. Trust me, it's the best 5 minutes you'll spend this week.
