This is funny. We had a post all teed up asking readers to try to identify the street that served as the backdrop for the new Absolut Brooklyn ad campaign when we saw that Miss Heather had not only beaten us to it but figured out that it’s a street that only exists in the magical world of Photoshop. And we were going to guess Crown Heights or Prospect Heights, suckers that we are!
I’m talking about being frownstoners…this isn’t the first time this vodka has come up and it gets hated on constantly. “It tastes nasty”…it tastes fine. Yet, every bar I go to people order it constantly. If you don’t like it that’s one thing. I don’t drink Kentucky Bourbon because I’m from TN and prefer Jack Daniels…I’m not going on the web saying how nasty Jim Beam is or better yet, I’m not gonna hate on Jack Daniels because I don’t live in TN anymore. It’s just vodka.
“Spike is a sell-out”…why? Because he’s using his brand to cross-market another brand? Who else represents Brooklyn like Spike Lee? Spike goes to the Delta and still reps Brooklyn, while living in the city…you guys sound crazy right now.
It also could be a block in south slope by the park (12th-14th st between 8th and PPW).
My friend worked on this campaign. Sure its a money/marketing thing, yawn, but its all in good fun and gives hommage to a city we love.
Spike Lee, BOZO the clown. barf barf barf….
where is that hate? what are you talking about?
many are drinking it right now as they comment.
“I can’t believe you the frownstone committee is really hating on this vodka this hard”
Who’s hating? Half the people in this thread have a bottle of this vodka, myself included. Sheesh.
Yeah, I don’t get the hate for this.
Look, the person that created the campaign? Probably lives in Brooklyn. The photographers that shot it? Same.
I looked at this poster the other day and noticed that one house had an even number and the next an odd which would be unusual in real life.
Dave, I heard Absolut was trying to replicate that special Brooklyn brownstone “old house smell.”
