Well it's beer not vodka but you get the idea!

For me, it doesn't get any smoother than Armadale, plus it's hangover factor is nil to minimal depending on amount of course.

Absolut gives me a raging headache and it's very bitter.

I have no problem with the ad. If Absolut wants to market to Hispanics, that's perfectly fine with me. Not that I drink vodka anyway, but if I did I would happily respect their wishes and stop buying their product.

I never get headaches from any of the vodka brands I've tried. I like Absolut because it's consistently smooth, in my opinion. I've never tried Armadale... maybe I'll pick up a small bottle of it when I get my Absolut.

I know Smirnoff does, but that stuff is more vile than Absolute.

People get upset over the stupidest things. Its an advertisement aimed at making headway into the Mexican marketplace with humor - I guess Absolut will be arming them to take us over next.

I guess the GEICO commercials portraying caveman as business suit wearing intellectuals is trying to give Homos Erectus the civil rights they think they are due, also.

Three Olives is pretty good and not as pricey.
