So for a subject at uni I was researching a NZ company and I decided to look into 42 below vodka, where I came across these...
http://www.42below.com/assets/sm/457/18/42below_storyof.swf and http://www.42below.com/assets/sm/454/18/heroviral.swf .
These are the funniest adverts, but a tad offensive, definitely worth the watch though :)

They are really good and funny. Certainly will offend some in the PC brigade, but then what would be fun?

I always laugh when I see the current NZI insurance ad on TV. It is funny but is a complete rip off of the original 42 below ad.

I hard when they first put their ad's online they had to pull them due to the excessive traffic as they became a viral email link.

haha, I loved the first one (all black tribe etc.), the gay one was a bit naff though.

The poster ads they produced in England were fairly good, digs at the French and the likes, I like the little disclaimers down the bottom of each one. Shame it's been sold to Bacardi, i've switched to 26000 now.
