Rhyming prowess notwithstanding, the folks over at Wodka vodka seem desperately in need of some cultural sensitivity training. Several billboards displayed prominently around New York show two cute dogs, one wearing a Santa hat and one a yarmulke, with the slogan “Christmas Quality, Hanukkah Pricing.” Oops. The not-so-PC shill for the company’s cheap booze has enough people steamed up that the issue reached the Anti-Defamation League, which spoke out against the ad today, saying it “reinforces anti-Semitic stereotypes.” For real: Get with the program, Wodka. And if you’re going to start a billboard controversy, at least make sure there are some hot naked people involved. [ADL]
