First the brand sucked balls. Now a new Skyy ad makes vodka a sexy phallic symbol around which women wrap their legs. (Although we've seen the bottle in person and it's much smaller.) It's all part of the vodka=cock movement!
It's an excellent question: what's the deal with "girly"-marketed drinks...and why are they all so sickly-sweet?
They say sex sells. But the way ad agencies market vodka, you'd think it was a bottle of hot, throbbing cock instead of water and ethanol.
Many brands are partnering with the movie — HP, Moet — and now Skyy has announced a special edition Patricia Field/SATC 2 bottle. It might look a little tacky, but it's actually "cocktail couture"! [ONTD via Luxist]
