42 Below Vodka
celebrates Britain. This vodka is made by a bunch of chaps in New Zealand, and is a non homophobic alcoholic beverage.
FLASH animation with loud NZ accent

Funny as hell. The English pop culture references in the tribute to England ad alone are worth it. Black Adder, Doctor Who and even Blake's fucking Seven in a vodka ad? Brilliant.
-
They've got another that seems oddly vacant from their new flash site where they piss on Fosters.
-
more here.
-
they had a complaint from an NYC bar about the "gay" ad and their president came up with this page in response: http://www.42below.com/jamesdale/

(oh, and some swearing and a man in a panda suit, so possibly nsfw, but not really. and sorry for bad html)
-
ha ha ha awesome
-
I saw most of the others, but not the Blake's 7 reference until I saw it a second time - it was really fast - good eyes! But the most true bit is about the pound - man, the pound is worth a lot in NZ. And Canada, and the U.S. and everywhere you go. Actually, I have to live off Canadian funding in the UK next year - it won't be easy.

Wow- they actually managed to get around the world-class protection Macromedia builds into its software to ensure that nothing actually funny can ever be contained in an online Flash cartoon.

Here's to Britain, but don't forget Inglan is a Bitch
-
I am gonna try out this stuff if I can find it in the liquor shack tomorrow.
-
BWAHAHAHA it's all true, you know. As is the poem on Abiezer's link. Chyren, I hope you find the actual vodka so you can tell us if it's as good as the advertising.
-
I'll pick up a bottle tonight for tomorrow's festivities.
-
Oh surlyboi, the vodka the vodka is callliinnngg... Happy birthday and I'll be waiting for that vodka report. And if it leaves you unable to type then I'm getting some for sure.
-
They didn't have it at my local liquor store.
-
That's because your in the wrong country. Your puny Australian dollars can't hold up to the big fat pound.
-
Nor can my spelling.
