[Updated] Is This Vodka Ad Promoting Sexual Assault?

Vodka is like the date rape drug’s cousin, by which I mean GHB is to vodka what a worm is to tequila. It’s not necessary, but if you really want to have fun you’ll have it.

The ad, which features a grinning man grabbing a terrified woman, uses the slogan “Unlike Some People Belvedere Always Goes Down Smoothly.”

The ad instantly sparked outrage over the seeming implication of rape and went viral after it was posted Friday on the company’s Facebook and Twitter sites.
