Totally brilliant Dane. I manage a restaurant. Guess which vodka we will not be ordering this week? Not that we sell that much Absolut anywyay, but soon it will be a lot less

Absolut has probably taken into fact, that they will lose the one bottle a year you order.

What the heck though, Absolut is counting on the gas bags such as Hannity and Beck to give them great free publicity.

BTW, I am not employed by Absolut, but I do admire their brilliant marketing campaign to get you guys all in a huff.

Choosing to not sell or drink a particular vodka is not a huff. Liberals like you get in a huff. Conservatives make choices and take action.

I might have said Absolut isn't one of our biggest sellers, which is why they are resorting to ads like these, but our restaurant did almost a million in sales in March this year. We are on the high end and we are right square in the middle of Absolut's target market. The market they used to have and are desperate to get back.

Why, Dane, why is it so important that your fellow American CITIZENS are marginalized or in a ‘huff’? Yes, loosing our livelihoods and homes and innocent children to your invaders tends to put us in a ‘huff’.

Don’t you get tired of playing the fool for your handlers?

The campaign is only brilliant if it generates more sales than the usual ad.

While I too appreciate the “there is no such thing as bad publicity” notion, occasionally there is such thing. In this case, war usually isn’t good for international commerce.
