Ad companies around the world use provocative images, sexy images, dry humor, sad displays, and so on. Wodka Vodka’s billboard that displayed over a NYC street used the images of dogs. Not only were they dogs but a dog dressed as a Jew and a dog dressed as Santa. Cute? Maybe. But the Wodka ad campaign went a little further. Next to the dogs was a statement. It said Christmas Quality Hanukkah Pricing next to the dogs and a bottle of vodka. WOW!! The sign was taken down in no time due to distraught, enraged people who saw the billboard. Brian Gordon, head of MMG, the advertising company, released a statement saying it was suppose to be a “ha ha quirky” message not anti-semitic. Further investigation of Gordon’s twitter account is taking place due to other “questionable” phrases and ads.<\/p>\n

Wow! This shows how far an ad agency will go to be the most talked about! This link<\/a>, shows the story and picture of the billboard, and I can’t see how this would come off “quirky and funny”. This is totally anti-semitic. I am not even Jewish and I am disappointed in how blatantly rude they are pointing out money and being cheap.<\/p>\n
