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.
