Cyrillic in the mirror
If you are a social bookmarking sites fan, you should already know this creative poster for Russian Bear vodka. When you look at this poster normally, you’ll just see some random communist propaganda and may not even notice that it is not russian if you can’t read cyrillic characters. If you look at it in the mirror, which you probably will if you wash your hands, you’ll see that it is actually sending a message in english telling you not to drink and drive, pretty awkward for a vodka commercial.
That’s more Ukrainian that Russian.
The Russian alphabet have no “I” letter
But poster is great!
It’s not Rusian and not Ukrainian - it’s a fake
That is not Ukrainian. That’s random Cyrillic characters without sens. I’m from Ukraine and i know Russian and Ukrainian both.
it’s only meant to look like russian…that’s the whole idea of the poster. that it should resemble some sort of communist propaganda but it is not trying to communicate anything in russian just give that overall look by using characters that have such an appearance.

Anyone else notice the awesome Thundercats shirt he is wearing ?
@E!
Heh - I didn’t notice until you mentioned it!
Cool poster too… good concept.
Fake, obviously photshopped.
Yobbo, are you a moron?
A poster on a bathroom wall is really so unbelievable to you? Hahaha.
Anywho, as a sap for vintage-looking propaganda posters, this is awesome on the borders of the EXTREEEMEEE
This is brilliant, i love the brown, vinage look of it. But enough about that t-shirt…
Best comments ever
Yobbo: Photoshopped? Seriously? That made my brain hurt.
defenatly a shoop
can tell by the pixals
Oh pluheeeeze.
The poster is so OBVIOUSLY photoshopped. It SIMPLY looks TOO REAL…
It’s not REAL Cyrillic, but good looking fake Cyrillic.
And the Shirt…
might it be a Bacardi Rum shirt? Looks like a bat’s wing to me.
Hey…my /sarcasm tag got eaten!!!
nice one!!
Too bad guys don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom.
you’re all fucking swine shit
Nice idea, i like this
Can I be pedantic and point out that the language is English. Backwards English but English all the same. Love the guy who said “that’s not Russian, it’s Ukranian!”
Every Stumble Page has the same 20 idiots posting on it. First you have First Guy, who always makes a spelling error that third guy points out in a very snarky manner, proving his douchebaggery. But before that you have second guy, who just drops by to correct first guy on the fact that he’s a total idiot. Then fourth guy says its photoshopped and starts a twenty post flame war that’s about as pitifully stupid as George Bush JR
Note, it was said “MORE Ukrainian that Russian” and a comment about the alphabet. That does not mean that the person was implying it WAS Ukrainian, I think it is quite clear that it is English. The point was that they were saying with the letters used for the backwards English, it is closer to the Ukrainian alphabet then the Russian alphabet.
In any case, the photoshop comment is a joke (see xkcd, it’s an ongoing joke we spread throughout the web, you should watch us argue it in real life!) and the “Random Stoner” is kind of a dick (though I agree about the Bush thing).
Oh, and that ad rocks.
WHO F**KING CARES?? Quit bitching about Russian, Ukranian, Swahili…you fucking losers find a way to suck the fun out of anything. And you look like All-Star Douchebags in the process. You’re probably Patriots fans.
And then there’s the twenty first guy who points out why everyone is at fault while still maintaining the atmosphere of douchebaggery.
And then you get the 25th person who comes up with some random, meaningless comment.
Giraffe meat tastes like pork.
If that looks more like Ukrainian, than the designers for RUSSIAN BEAR VODKA need to get the fuck in line.
btw, in after shit storm, trolls, Arachnologists.
It’s not even worth the time anymore.
duh?
Was all that necessary?

Nice way to Bell the REAL MAN !!
I know most people do drink and drive, but don’t because you never know what can happen. Your life could wind up changing for the worst if you drink and then get behind the wheel.
