# source images
absolut.com have a press room where they let you download high-res EPS format images like the bottle... handy.

# aren't they kind
and it's worked they have free promotion from it.
Smirnoff (not too suprisingly) found this a while ago and did a series of versions. do a search for absolut showing threads and they'll probably show up :)
You've spun a couple of original ideas though.

# free promotion?
I dunno. I'm no more likely to buy the stuff now than I ever was, if D. Ross is a typical user. (Not that they'd ever admit that, of course.)

# not you alone
i mean all around the world photoshoppers of all kinds can get the images and make their own versions.
It's all about brand awareness.

# tough
now, boy, aren't you happy to be a consumer, knowing your place in our modern corporate society? I mean, I've just finished reading michael moore's books Downsize This and Stupid White Men, so I tend to think that advertising is evolution in action. now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to McDonalds for breakfast. Not.

# i know of his work
and went to see him at the roundhouse before xmas so i pretty much agree - if you look at the masses they are being sold ANYTHING by whoever shouts loudest. But there's an e-generation that pretty much ignores ads and, thanks to spam and pop-ups etc, will in some cases postiviely avoid products because of adverts or bad pr or net ettiquete, so yes advertising is having to change to try and deal with it.

# what do they call that again..?
