Wodka Vodka: the anti-Semitic spirit of choice!
If you hadn’t had the pleasure of checking out Wodka Vodka’s billboard alluding to the stereotype of Jewish dogs being really cheap, you’ve missed your chance. The ad has been torn down and put in a “crumpled heap near the road.”
But don’t worry…Wodka has so many more mascots to offend you!
Trying to get in touch with Wodka’s PR, we went to the product’s website, where we were directed to email “New Dehli Neil” (an Indian man dressed as a snake charmer):
And Sumo Cho (who is apparently in charge of sales):
Or their “Black Russian” campaign, which thankfully has not run over NYC yet:

Jews are so thin-skinned. Italians are regularly belittled in the media (e.g., Jersey Shore, Sopranos, etc.), but that’s acceptable in American “culture.” That Herman Cain’s company is called “Godfather’s,” and no one ever questioned the poltical incorrectness of that is amazing. If, instead, he owned a bagel chain named “Shylocks,” he would have no career whatsoever (political or otherwise).
You realize that the Black Russian is a cocktail.
An irreverent, funny ad campaign, lost on a humourless bunch of whiners. ‘get a life’ !
Whatever happened to the 1960′s ad campaign “Dress British, think Yiddish”? Google that phrase, and you’ll find its interesting origin.
