Barack Obama’s story : impossible is nothing. Any resemblance or similarity with existing advertising campaign may not be fortuitous, but rather from the strict perception of reality.

    Corporate Russia at its finest

  • RSR47RUS says:

    I Russian also live in Russia. I NEVER saw vodka advertising in our country, at least I do not remember the such! Even if to me would suggest to present that advertising – it to me would not seem such, not cheap.
    Удивительные вещи происходят.

  • funkasoris says:

    Actually, I can tell the difference between “Russian Standard” and other vodkas based on flavor profile alone.

    RS is VERY smooth, like heavy water, with a slightly sugary finish. It has much less of an “alcohol” flavor than most other vodkas. It is also sold here in the U.S. as “mid shelf”.

    “Top shelf” vodkas (like Grey Goose) are not as good IMO. Most have the “flavor profile” of rubbing alcohol.

  • funkasoris says:

    Ain’t that the truth!

  • MrBiffi says:

    someone know song at 0:42 ?

  • BurningHeretics says:

    LOL

  • BurningHeretics says:

    Love this Vodka. I paid 50 bucks for a so called “premium” Vodka here in Australia and it tasted like Vaginal backwash compared to Russian Standard and RS half the price!!! It’s also smoother than the “popular” brands like Smirnoff and Absolut. Definatly the Vodka to have if you wan’t a drink straight or on the rocks.

  • yOsHiBrO says:

    Smirnoff isn’t the best. Russian standard is the same price I think, or slightly more expensive, but is a lot better.

  • jdi0093113 says:

    In the UK this vodka is everywhere but yet the most expensive but if you want good russian vodka get this or smirnnoff for the good vodka thats slighly cheaper(not my preference).

  • P0IS0N says:

    Vodka is my religion!

  • ParadoxX200700 says:

    omg religions are for lows

  • EyeHeartET says:

    Laughs, maybe the term ‘top shelf’ is lost upon you; basically it means good. In America, the more expensive and hopefully better tasting beverages are put on the top shelf in stores.

    I have answered your question, context clues, my dear Watson. But here it is again: they taste good… that’s the characteristic that makes them top shelf. Russian Standard is good as it tastes similar to the two brands I’ve mentioned; not as good but close enough for the price. Out of space-now answer mine

  • vipjan12 says:

    drinking alcohol isn’t in my religion, but this advertisement makes it so tempting, the leading man is gorgeous…

  • arkybarky81 says:

    do you know what good vodka tastes like? can you tell the difference in a blind tasting between ‘top shelf’ and others? and you still haven’t answered my question… what characteristic make certain vodkas ‘top shelf’ and whats so good about russian standard? Belvedere and reyka are made from different types of grain and different distillation process, etc..resulting in two very different products…what flavour profile do you look for in a vodka? look forward to your answers ;)

  • RomanBelvedere says:

    Wakes up in the morning with a headache, covers his face with his hands:
    “Uhhhh, fucking Russian vodka…”

  • EyeHeartET says:

    What do you think ‘tastes top shelf’ means? It tastes similar to top shelf vodkas; two brands of which I consider to be are Belvedere and Reyka. What do you consider to be a top shelf vodka, Mr. Bartender? Are you serving the vodka cold? Do your patrons know what good vodka tastes like? What kind of establishment to you tend bar at? Obviously these are important variables!

  • arkybarky81 says:

    @eyeheartet…actually, it is not. i’m a bartender and we stocked it for a while..until noone wanted it cos its shit, it never does great in blind tastings either…and may i ask what does ‘tastes top shelf’ mean? what do you consider a good tasting vodka? this stuff is nothing but glamified paint stripper…imho :)

  • EyeHeartET says:

    @arkybarky81 Actually, it’s really good vodka; tastes top shelf and it comes at a mid shelf price.

  • yOsHiBrO says:

    Bought it last night. I doubt you can get it at the provincially owned stores (BC Liquors doesn’t have it, we had to buy it at a privately owned one).

    Hi,

    Who knows this music?

    Thanks

  • Ironman87 says:

    hey reppjohnny. your welcome.

  • ProjectDystopia says:

    good point….and again, nice video. Your music selection for the video was excellent.

  • reppjohnny says:

    You are right, and only few people can say they are good at playing basketball AND being president of the United States.

  • ProjectDystopia says:

    good video….however remember the reason he did not play basketball in college was because HE WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. And the President-Elect Obama still plays basketball for fun, your video has this dichotomy embedded in it—either he plays basketball or he studies. Barack did both.
