Win a Free Russian Bride With Vodka Purchase!

A New Zealand liquor company, 42 Below, decided that offering free t-shirts or even a car as a prize just wasn't good enough for their New Zealand ad campaign. This high class vodka producer is offering a Russian bride as first prize in a vodka promotion. Surprise! Russian women in New Zealand are highly offended by the promotion. The prize offers $8000 or a return trip to Moscow with spending money, to join a "find-a-bride" tour. (Kinda like nerdy kids who go to camp trying to find a girlfriend...) The controversial advertisement reads "Let me tell you, those Russian women are awesome, they don't care if you watch cricket on Valentine's Day, hell they don't even care if you're short and fat. It's almost too good to be true." (It works that way in the US if you have money. It's great to know in this big world, some things are universal...) According to the company "the image of the woman scrubbing a floor was tongue in cheek." Of course it is.
