Ginch sent me the funniest ad I’ve ever seen. It’s about the daily lives of the New Zealanders — oh, and NZ is part of Australia, apparently — as they make 42 Below Vodka. Which they then "give to the white man in exchange for blankets, muskets… and hobbits." Link: 42 BELOW :: The Story … Read more
