Overwhelmed and Jittery
This is neither a rant nor a praise. All the vodka ads on the 14th street subway station, both the 8th ave and the 6th ave ones are freaking me out. Stolichnaya has replaced every ad in those stations with their ads, ranging in 3 or 4 different colors. It is beautiful but it is weird. It evokes both the fear of Big Brother and Communism as well as capitalist in your face advertising brainwashing... its as if the two sides are secretly buddies... I mean in a way they are and in a way we are tiny and helpless.
Let's just get drunk and forget about it....

stalichnaya means "at the dinner table". every russian drinks this and eats pickles.

Maybeface, you are so right about the imagery being fantastic and bold and very russian, but also eery, trying to tell you something secretly? It's like subliminal propaganda for russian vodka!
