Vodka Advert to Class up New York

I was nearly mowed down by a bus in Crown Heights last night, thanks to two martinis and the Pet Shop Boys. But I didn't recognize the irony until I read the morning headlines.

From AdAge:

The owner of Georgi Vodka said he is in talks to put the derriere of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's call girl on the backside of every bus in New York.

Says the CEO:

"The girl's butt we have on there now is pretty good, but if you can get [Dupre] to do it, and to make some personal appearances, it's like Paris Hilton or something. We are trying to work out a contract."

My IQ dropped 10 points just reading this story. I need more coffee.
