I don't know if everyone is familiar with the Darwin Awards story about the couple who were making love in the open air on top of a hill when the man, who was on top, had the misfortune to be struck by lightning.
Not only was he killed outright, but also much of the charge flowed through him into his partner, melting his genitals and fusing them to hers, and causing her to lose consciousness, which was perhaps a kindness.
When she awoke, however, she was horrified to find, in addition to the misfortune described above, that her dead lover was being eaten by a bear, and that she was still attached to him.

I repeat this story (and apologies to those who have already heard it a thousand times), not merely to make people imagine the horror of it again, but because of the persistent myth attached to it, namely that the couple in question had been drinking Stolichnaya in some quantity, judging by evidence found at the scene.

My friend who, for his sins, works in advertising tells me that the company, and their agency, have been desperately trying to think of a way to exploit this extraordinary event for publicity purposes without a) grossing people out too much b) implying that you'll come to a bad end with the product or c) getting sued by the victim's family.

What's that you say ? My opinion? Oh OK.
My opinion is that Vodka is designed to be tasteless and to be mixed with mixers. Therefore it doesn't matter a damn what any given Vodka is like and anyone who can tell one from another has too much free time on their hands and should be out there saving the planet.
Stolichnaya ? S'alright. Gets you drunk.
