The new season of Mad Men is off to a strong start on social media -- it's already the most talked-about premiere of 2012. Twitter users were abuzz with chatter about Sunday night's episode of Mad Men -- especially about the comeback of Don Draper's ex-wife, Betty Draper Francis.
(SPOILER ALERT: We'll reveal some of the key plot points of the episode in the next paragraph.)

Betty's sudden weight gain was a major subplot of the episode. The actress playing her, January Jones, was pregnant during the shooting of the show. Now the unhappy spouse of a prominent political aide, she was seen chowing down on Bugles and ice cream, and asking her doctor for diet pills. That same doctor's visit led to a brief thyroid cancer scare, after which Betty returned to her overeating ways.
The character was quickly turned into the newest parody account in the Mad Men Twitter family:@FatBettyFrancis. Meanwhile, #FBF (for "Fat Betty Francis") seems to be trending on the microblogging service.
We've rounded up six humorous tweets from the new character. Funny or offensive? Let us know what you think in the comments.
