This makes perfect sense to me. Anyone confused leave a note in the comments and I'll give you a run down. It's by The Glue Society for the Vodka - 42 Below Zero
It's a thinking persons vodka chaps. People who lie on a beach in neat rows aren't on holiday. They're securing a tan and trying to forget how awful their lives are. Sad but true. There's some other bits there what do you think it says?
to borrow a line from the kinks song "david watts": "I am a dull and simple lad cannot tell water from champagne."
i'm gonna take a stab at this: there's a quick cut at :40 seconds in where all the dolls are in an orgy-like scene. perhaps, people are going about their lives in meaningless relationships, having group sex w/strangers, not knowing real intimacy?
Meaningless is the key word windo. The point of travel is to learn something about ourselves, not to come back with a tan. We'll make a planner of you yet.
I'm quite partial to a Vodka that makes me think. Have you read my post on purity values and Absolut Vodka?
Hmmm... I'm still a bit confused, tho perhaps knowing the vodka brand outside of this ad might help... So, "Because we can" alludes to a fuck-you "we can put blowup dolls on the beach" attitude, and it also makes fun of the tan-beach-meaningless crowd?
not afraid to admit, i'm cornfused, charles. thx.
