  • Looking for an old liquor ad

    I can't find this anywhere and maybe the educated illuminati of Poly can help.

    I'm looking for an old liquor ad. It ran in print magazines roundabout the late 1990s and early 2000s in Britain. It was for a strong liquor, and I want to say it was for Smirnoff, because of the "illusion" theme.

    It featured a female torso and legs from the top of the thighs to just below her breasts. The woman is nude. Across her crotch, preserving her modesty, is a sideways bottle of liquor.

    The liquor reveals that, instead of the usual appearance of the body part you'd expect to see, you see a map of India.


    I want to say it was Smirnoff but it could well have been Absolut or Bombay Sapphire. Has anybody seen it? Does anybody have a link to a picture?

    You don't have to post it here if that violates terms of use but I'd like to grab a copy if anybody has it. This is to do with obscenity regulations and what constitutes pornography rather than satire etc.


    Edit: It is Smirnoff. This page has a bit more about it but no picture.

    You might try a site that lets you buy magazine art, like http://originalmagazineads.com/ ... you can at least identify the ad, then find it on your own after you have figured out the correct booze

      It was Smirnoff, and it ran some time prior to Sept. 1998, according to the link I edited into my first post.

          One interesting link is http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Students/rbj0002.doc ... it is not that ad, but it's some ads from a similar timeframe and might be also useful to you
